Makey Makey is a creative and exciting way to cultivate competitive, 21st century innovators! My students deserve the opportunity to enhance their creativity, coding and problem solving skills through these clever invention kits. Not only will my students learn about coding, but they will also be targeting the "Four Cs," critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity skills considered the most important 21st century skills for k-12 education. These 15 Makey Makey kits will provide my students the unique opportunity of engaging in the innovative learning experience they deserve. These kits will also allow my students to work collaboratively in pairs. My students already have access to 1:1 Chromebooks in the classroom. Students will plug in their Makey Makey's via the USB ports and with their imagination make virtually anything! Students will use online programming platforms, such as Scratch, and everyday materials to make any object into a controller for their Chromebook. Also, Makey Makey can turn students' projects into an interactive experience. Students will actively be learning how to use the two-sided circuit board through guided lessons & exploration. Then, they will learn through exploration of different engaging activities. The goal is to gradually have students independently create their own creative learning experience! My students and I would like to thank all of you in advance for your support! We will truly appreciate the gift of having our own Makey Makey kits!
