Sixth graders in Makerspace fourth quarter recently raced their wind-powered cards.

The cars were designed in Tinkercad, and made using the Makerspace’s Glowforge, Cricuts, and 3D printers. The winning car was by Kylee Roach, traveling 32 feet, 9 inches. That distance was the tops for the 2024-25 school year, and just. foot shy of the all-time middle school record!

They had to pick three different poems/authors that they felt drawn to, or resonated with. The room also was set up with flower vases and snacks to give it a café feel. The students were engaged in the activity, which was put together to expose the students to poetry. Well done! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride
