Bringing the maker experience into your classroom!
The C3 Thinker Tank Community experience is being made available to TK through 8th grade teachers in our Archdiocesan Schools, to expose them to the joys of student creativity from “making”. The C3 Thinker Tank Team provides teachers/educators with necessary techniques to teach their students essential life skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication, which students learn through specially designed interactive projects. Thinker Tank Communities then share their ideas and receive additional support from other teachers involved in Thinker Tank education. The C3 Thinker Tank Team offers many unique projects that can be topic-based and tailored to individual classrooms.
