STEAM Creates Jr. Scientists

Funded Feb 8, 2019

Thank you again for the awesome opportunity to share some "new age" technology with my students. When the materials started to arrive, they were so excited and kept asking when we could use them.

The first thing we used in the classroom was the Sphero. They used it to practice their multiplication and division facts. I used a large numbers chart and they had to answer the multiplication problem or division problem by driving the Sphero to the correct answer. They love practicing their multiplication and division facts now.

The Makey Makey was introduced by drawing a pencil keyboard and with one student as the conductor, the other students had to touch him to play the music.

Students were able to use the Bit Coding to create a story and have a starting point and an end point. The other items were used during our STEAM days. You can see we have been very busy integrating this technology into our everyday lessons.

Again, thank you so much for this opportunity. I cannot wait to create more lessons using this awesome technology.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Stickley
