Coding to Create Light and Sound

Help me give my students tools like Circuit playground, LED lights and wiring to code to create their own Mission Patches with light and sound.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Weaver's classroom raised $806

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are active and engaged junior high students who are excited about all things technology and coding. I took a Pathfinders/Infosys virtual course this summer on E-Textiles called Spacesuits in Progress and I want to take this knowledge to my students.

I want to teach my students how to code circuit playground to create light and sound on their student designed Mission Patches this year.

We want to learn to code and tech out our own Spacesuit as we study the newest technology that might involve some of my current students living and working on the Moon.
