Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In addition to learning in the classroom, our school requires students to spend half their school time off campus at internships throughout the city to gain tangible and meaningful learning experiences. Students have busy schedules and some struggle with connecting with each other and their community.

Help us empower our students to break down barriers and increase social engagement by helping them gain access to creating their own machines with the help of MakeyMakey.

Here are some things you can do with a Makey Makey:

Make a controller: Use materials like playdough or graphite pencils to design your own controller.

Control games: Learn to code while playing Scratch games.

Make music: Use liquids, fruits, and office supplies to make musical circuits.

Build sensors: Use foil, pennies, and paper clips to build sensors.

MakeyMakey helps students with different intellectual and disability needs access, create, and collaborate by letting them make machines and music through their imagination and science!
