Saskatoon Makerspace

“Participating in the alternative extended practicum at Saskatoon Makerspace was an incredibly rewarding experience. Working with middle years students, I had the opportunity to teach practical and applied arts and fine arts, while also sharing my passion for the woodshop. The hands-on experience and engaging environment make this practicum invaluable for aspiring educators. Saskatoon Makerspace is a truly unique and important resource for artists, learners, and much more. This placement has greatly developed my identity as an educator, woodworker, and student.” – Eli G.
