Ignite Imagination With Stikbot Animation

Help me give my students the opportunity to use Stikbots to create stop motion animation.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sanders's classroom raised $190

This project is fully funded

My Project

Stikbots are poseable toys that allow students to creatively pose them and take photos to create stop motion films. These will encourage creative thinking, independent learning, and self-expression while they create stop motion movies. Students will use an app that is already on our class iPads to create their own short films. I will allow them to create films about certain topics that correlate to topics we study and also allow creative imaginary play.

Another teacher has a set of Stikbots and my students were very interested in them which led to me researching and learning more about them.

My students are hoping we can get our own Stikbots soon!
