Steady Hand Wins the Game

Help me give my students materials (battery holders, batteries, wire, buzzers, boxes, etc.) to make a steady-hand game.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Burdett's classroom raised $183

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are from a district that provides free lunches for all students. I would like to help provide my students with access to more resources that can maximize their learning and set them up for success now and in the future!

My Project

The students have been so limited on what we can do this year as far as hands on activities. Most of the stuff we have would have to be shared among the students which is next to impossible with COVID.

With these materials, students could create their own steady-hand game using knowledge about electrical circuits.

They would all be able to make and take home the project to share their knowledge and fun with their families.

I think it would be a great way to get to do something hands on while also staying COVID safe!
