A Makey Makey Set for Aspiring Inventors

Funded Dec 5, 2022

This is fantastic news! Thank you so much for funding this project.

My mission is to increase representation (women, people of color, differently abled persons, etc) in the sciences, primarily computer sciences. My school starts this by making sure all students have experience with coding then we extend it with after-school and lunch activities such as a Girls Who Code and Coding Club. Writing code is interesting at first, but I want to keep my students engaged and excited about computer science. This Makey Makey set will do that while integrating literacy and math with our coding lessons. I will immediately start planning lessons and activities for this Makey Makey set starting with 2nd graders and will send you lot of photos showing off our inventiveness.”

With gratitude,
