Check the CraterWorks calendar (coming soon) and pick a few dates that would work for your class visit. Not all dates that appear “available” will work. Email our Education Project Developer, Nathan Smith, to get finalize a date and get started.
2. Brainstorm
No ideas? No problem. Work with Nathan to discuss project ideas and outcomes for your class visit.
3. Coordinate Materials
Once material needs are determined, map out available resources and what needs to be purchased by CraterWorks or your classroom funds.
4. Prototyping & Orientation
Work 1 on 1 with Nathan to prototype your project and get familiar with the space, the tools, and what’s expected of you and your class during visit.
5. Differentiate
We understand that individual needs vary by student. The class project will be designed to effectively engage all students.
6. Evaluate
After the visit, we’ll send a short survey to help us better understand your experience and continue to improve our hands-on educational services.
