My Project

Makey Makey kits allow students to explore real-world programming that they use in their technological devices every single day. Through these STEM kits, students will learn about the various technological advances that Makey Makey offers, such as making a piano programmed in their computers.

Living on an island, students do not have much opportunities to explore STEM-based learning, as real-world exploration in the field is limited.

Allowing my future students to play and explore through Makey Makey is the first step in peaking their curiosity in the field. Thank you for reading!
