My Project

These materials will help my students do projects with electrical circuits. The batteries and led lights will be used for the students to create an electrical circuit to add lights to an art project.

The materials will be used to create our own handmade versions of an Operation game.

Students will use Micro: bit computers with tweezers and the copper tape to create an electrical circuit. The Micro: bit computers will be coded to buzz if the tweezers touch the copper tape and also keep score. Additionally, the students will design and 3d print game pieces to put in the holes of the Operation games.

This project will put together problem solving skills, 3d CAD skills, engineering and design skills, coding skills and team work skills. Putting all of these skills together in an exciting way will encourage the students to work hard on developing these skills so that their end product is the best I can possibly be.
