My Project

I am the upper elementary science/social studies teacher. I plan on using this cart as a behavioral incentive AND as a learning tool. So much of our modern education system uses computers to help teach our students and I believe that we have taken away their ability to learn with their hands. Why does something work a certain way? Why did that not work? How do I make it work?

There are many learning opportunities bundled up into the Maker Cart.

We will be able to learn circuits and how gears and pulleys make work easier! I know this is an expensive project! I teach in a small country 1A school and there really is not a lot of money in our school budget. This is a great community and a wonderful school and I am asking for your help on behalf of my students.
