The Description

It is critically important that students have opportunities to express their creativity, tinker, and explore without having to be “right.” This is the time where students make important connections to the real world for themselves and gain a deeper understanding of how things work. This year I want to give my students more opportunities to experiment and explore without the pressure of choosing a correct answer. That is why I want to purchase Makey Makey kits for my classroom. Makey is a STEM invention kit for the 21st century. With the kit students are able turn everyday objects into touchpads and combine them with the internet. The Makey Makey products provide hands-on, creative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent as they deeply engage in science, art, engineering and tinkering.

If this is the type of opportunity that you think all students should have, please consider making an investment into our fundraiser. Every donation, regardless of size, will bring these awesome kits into the hands my students. If you are not able to make a contribution at the moment, please consider sharing this on social media to help increase awareness. Thank you in advance for all all of the support!

Here is the breakdown of our goal of $256.71 for Makey Makey

Back Up Plan

If we do not reach our goal I will purchase as many kits as I can with what we raise. If we do not make enough to purchase one kit, then I will use the money to purchase traditional board games that teach computational thinking skills such as Battleship which I will use during my Computational Thinking Time stations or rotations.
