Innovation Station grants — made possible by the generosity of Otter Products employees — brought hands-on makerspaces to two schools a thousand miles apart.
Olander Elementary in Fort Collins, Colorado, and Tierrasanta Elementary in San Diego, California, each received a grant to create a space where curious kids can design, build, and test their ideas. Same spark, two very different communities.
It’s a reminder that the impulse to make and innovate lives in kids everywhere — they just need the room to do it.
