My Project

Through this STEM project my students will become innovators! They love hands-on learning and using technology. I am requesting a Makey Makey classroom STEM kit.

Students can make music by plugging the Makey Makey into a computer.

They will use alligator clips to connect bananas, (or other items) by opening the piano app in any web browser, and by playing away.

Students will learn Invention Literacy, which means they will learn how things work so they can make new things. As a music teacher, I am interested in learning along with the students!
