My Students

My students often face a lot of challenges, not only academically, but socially as well. They are original thinkers and enjoy hands-on learning and activities with movement.

Our public elementary school in Indianapolis faces the daily challenge of educating and motivating students that live well within the poverty level.

Our students are very active learners. They love when we have flexible seating options, STEM projects, and a choice of tasks within their daily routine. They work best in a flexible, yet structured, environment.

My Project

Our urban elementary school was blessed with a STEM lab two years ago. We have a good supply of building supplies, but we could use more materials for real-world coding connections.

Our school will use the Makey Makey kits for coding projects.

One such project is an interactive food web. Students can research the plants and animals in a food web and then use the Makey Makey kits to design an interactive display. There are so many coding possibilities for these versatile coding kits. The design options are unlimited, and the Makey Makey STEM pack will make a great addition to our school STEM lab!
