Launching The Hub to Promote Maker-Based Learning
"
I like to program things and tell them what to do. It’s fun because they do stuff at your command. I get to make the decisions and I can make something

Future workplaces will require people who can problem-solve, adapt and communicate in environments that are increasingly complex.
With $200,000 from our Endowment Fund, the Foundation launched The Hub last year. We provided plugged and unplugged materials to enhance the tonka curricular program and support maker-based learning in all PreK-8 Minnetonka schools.
The Hub materials provided by the Foundation encourage open-ended student-driven learning experiences that encourage creativity, collaboration and teamwork to achieve a goal.

Students share how much fun they had and ask when they get to do it again

I hear from parents about
the positive things their children
share with them about using The Hub materials. They think it's great!"
