Two classrooms at Delaine Eastin Elementary School in Union City, California, have been transformed into an engaging makerspace. The design highlights innovation and school pride with a laser-cut vinyl floor showcasing the butterfly mascot, playful “X” and “O” light fixtures, and color-coded structural beams, mechanical ducts and electrical conduits that serve as teaching tools. A sliding glass wall that connects the makerspace to an adjacent outdoor courtyard creates a dynamic environment where indoor and outdoor learning converge. This adaptable design encourages collaboration, exploration and hands-on learning.
