My Project

Students look forward to learning new ideas through technology. Opportunities to learn with technology expand beyond personal and school devices to enhance knowledge. Students get excited when they are able to complete hands-on activities together incorporating engineering and technology concepts to support career readiness skills.

As students complete a holiday card circuit activity together, they are able to make progress in understanding cause and effect relationships and how to assemble a simple circuit to perform a function.

The LED light, coin cell battery, and copper tape will provide students with the materials needed to learn how conductivity works! These materials would be a fun addition to this holiday season and enhance student creativity as they create a glowing holiday card.
