We are thrilled to share that Izard County School District was chosen as THE feature school from the state of Arkansas, in this Mobile Makerspace film! ICC 5th and 6th grade students were able to experience the Mobile Makerspace visit, thanks to funding provided by The Simon's Foundation. (link to video below)
A note from the producer:
"Stories From The Path" highlights the science initiatives of the Simons Foundation partner organizations in the path of the 2024 total solar eclipse, telling the stories of this moment of science, culture, and community. In Arkansas, we'll be featuring the work of the Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub's Mobile Makerspace, which will be taking its eclipse-centered curriculum to rural schools across Arkansas with their Mobile Makerspace. The video will feature the Izard County Consolidated school and surrounding community as a backdrop to this work.
