My Project

In our classroom, these materials will create an interactive station rotation that merges strategic gameplay with hands-on engineering. Students will sharpen their spatial reasoning and coordinate-grid skills with Battleship, tackle visual logic puzzles through Uzzle, and apply trial-and-error problem-solving using the STEM kits, all while recording their schematics and game strategies on paper.

By using the portable scanner to digitize their paper schematics, game grids, and strategy logs, students will actively create digital portfolios that make their invisible thinking visible.

This seamless archiving process allows learners to analyze winning strategies with peers, reflect on their analytical growth, and bridge the gap between tactile gameplay and digital literacy.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
