The possibilities are endless at Dyer Elementary

Students and staff at Dyer Elementary School in South Portland have developed a partnership with Limitless Child International in India, which provides opportunities for children without families to realize a thriving childhood and hopeful future.

During the 2015-16 school year, Dyer Elementary students hosted visits from the organizers of Limitless Child to the school’s makerspace, the Fab Lab. Students shared how they learn with littleBits and Makey Makey electronics, coding apps, programmable robots and Legos. Students in kindergarten through fifth grade educated the representatives about what an elementary level makerspace can and should include, with the purpose of helping Limitless Child staff make informed decisions about how to organize maker education materials for children with whom they work.

This spring, a team of students worked with Dyer’s art teacher, Margaret Burman, to plan and organize a fundraiser to benefit Limitless Child International. Crayon hearts made from recycled crayon pieces with student-designed 3D printed holders and Lego heart necklaces were sold at end-of-year school events. The students raised $450 to support the work of Limitless Child.

The Dyer student body was also well represented at a recent Make It Matter event at Open Bench Project in Portland organized to educate the community about the efforts of Limitless Child and the needs that the organization is working to meet.

Valuable learning experiences for Dyer students this year have included sharing expertise on makerspace education, teaching how innovative technologies work, utilizing the design process to develop a product to sell, and responding to the needs of others.
