Circuits Needed for Future Engineers!

My students need a class set of littleBits STEAM kits to learn about circuits and an introduction to engineering.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Evans's classroom raised $2,989

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are full of energy, excited to learn, and naturally inquisitive. They want to be engaged in the lessons, instead of being passive learners.

With STEAM/STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and Problem/Project-Based Learning (PBL) students are engaged, and solving both real-life, and fictional problems.

Students want to know what they do will matter, and they are our future problem solvers.

My school has 1000 diverse students coming from different socioeconomic statuses, including many students who are homeless, or living in poverty.

My Project

Do you remember learning about circuits in school? If you were like me, it was connecting a battery, wire, and a light bulb. With littleBits, students learn about electronics by inventing their own projects through inquiry. As the students start with littleBits, they will have different challenges to complete (making it move and light, creating an invention for a life hack, etc.)

littleBits will empower my students to engineer real world solutions through invention.

While creating their inventions, the students with learn about circuits, magnets, and electricity.

Students will learn to collaborate, a 21st century real - world skill, in this student-centered, interest-driven, and curiosity-focused learning project, and will be excited by using the design process as a framework for achieving their new inventions as they solve real life problems.
