Help me give my students an opportunity to let their imagination run wild!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Phelan's classroom raised $973
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Students
My students come from a variety of cultures, low-income families, and hard-working middle-class families, which therefore results in plenty of hardships for them daily. This being said though, they are incredibly resilient. They are dedicated students with wonderful attitudes, despite their disadvantages. The struggles they overcome are more than many adults can handle, but they do so with a smile on their faces.
My Project
By providing my students with the Makey Makey kits they will be able to both explore and learn more about the STEM world around them. From working with Makey Makey they will be introduced to beginning skills of what they possibly will need to have to compete in the future job market.
Working with socioeconomically disadvantaged students, I would love to create opportunities for students to create and invent things with Makey Makey!
Hopefully it inspires one of them that might not have the opportunity to go on and make a difference in the world by either inventing or creating something. My extension to this project would be once grades 4-6 have used Makey Makey, they could then possibly go on to work with younger grades to explore and create as well!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
