T3 Alaska sites are educational and creative spaces complete with Makerspaces and access to T3 Coaches. T3 Alaska has developed 17 sites serving grades 8-12. Students are encouraged to engage in T3 Alaska educational opportunities within these safe spaces, employing play-based and project-based learning.
T3 Coaches manage their local program, oversee student progress, and encourage mini-grant applications to fund local projects. T3 Alaska coaches form partnerships with local community members and organizations that open opportunities for problem-based learning and internships.
Makerspaces
T3 Makerspaces are safe learning environments where students exercise their creative and technological skills. Makerspace equipment may include 3D printers, laser cutters, drones and more. Students utilize T3 Makerspaces for art, studying, and projects that solve community problems. T3 Makerspaces are run by trained teachers and school leaders who provide guidance and training, both with projects and technology.
Visit the UAF Makerspace website to see more about what these spaces can provide for students.
