My Project

The Makey Makey kits are innovative tools that turn everyday objects, like fruit and play dough into touch pads and combine them with scratch or the internet. Students will engage in hands-on learning experiences that helps with creativity, problem-solving skills, and collaboration. They will be able to create projects, such as game controllers, musical instruments, retelling stories, or solving math problems, which not only deepens their understanding of the content they are learning, but also encourage experimentation and critical thinking. This hands-on approach to learning empowers students to explore concepts in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) in a fun and meaningful way, making abstract concepts more concrete and accessible.

We are a Title 1 school, so my goals for this project is to enchanted STEAM skills, promote equity and diversity, help develop and solve problem solving skills, foster collaboration, and increase engagement/school attendance.

I want my students of all backgrounds knowing that they can achieve anything possible and there are no limits to their imagination and learning.

My students are the FUTURE and I am going to do everything I can to help prepare them for their constantly changing world. My students come from a variety of diverse backgrounds, which helps them learn how to collaborate with each other and learn to respect each others opinions. They are very curious and eager to learn, especially my littles. They want to learn how and why things work. Over the past year they have learned to be resilient and persevere when things get tough. They will tell you that it is okay to 'Fail', we just keep trying; we never give up.
