My Project

We allow the community students to gather during the summer and after school to play instead of being out on the streets. The Internet at home for most of our rural students is very bad so we allow the students to gather for games. This has brought up their overall well-being for the students since the pandemic started because they feel a sense of belonging when they usually feel like outcasts. We don’t have Nintendo Switches for our kids to use in the lab. We will use the consoles to support our students mental health and well-being. We have an entire STEM unit on using Minecraft with the Switch to prepare students for the future workplace by helping build skills like collaboration, creative problem-solving, communication, and systems thinking.
