My Students

My students will be returning to in-person instruction at the beginning of the school year. They are looking forward to studying computer science, digital arts, robotics, and coding.

Middle school students love science, technology, mathematics, and engineering!

Many of my students lack access to innovative and advanced technology in their homes. This year, I hope to provide engaging computer science materials to support my 21st-century learners. My students will be thrilled to experience learning that is supported by creative technology that encourages collaboration, communication, and critical thinking.

My Project

I am looking for new ways to help my students apply their computer science skills. My classes will use these Makey Makey kits to create amazing projects that help them put computer science concepts and STEM into action.

Makey Makey brings art, making, and computer science together!

My ultimate goal is to find a way to help students inspire others to learn computer science by using Makey Makey to create engaging presentations and interactive displays. I know that with these new kits my middle schoolers will have everything they need to have fun and learn new coding fundamentals.
