We incorporate STEM into as many classroom activities as possible. Recently, we designed our downtown area buildings on a grid of our city, then built circuits to light our buildings creating a night time atmosphere. We built switches to turn our circuits on and off. We would like to continue our study of circuits by including Makey-Makey in our studies, which will allow students to use their imaginations to create their own activities using circuitry. With Makey-Makey we learn that any material that can conduct at least a tiny bit of electricity will work to create, invent and imagine. Makey-Makey is an effective way to integrate subjects such as PE, Art, Science, Math and more in one class. Each Makey-Makey kit includes: Makey-Makey Board, USB Cable, 7 Alligator Clips, 6 Connector Wires, Instructions with Visual Project Start Guide, and Online Documentation We sincerely appreciate your support!
