My Project

According to Brian Mitchell, the director of the Nevada Office of Science, Innovation, and Technology,

"Nevada faces a serious workforce shortage in industries that demand skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Too few Nevadans consider STEM careers, in large part because they are not exposed to STEM education as students. Nevada’s future depends on its students being prepared to meet a wide variety of challenges. Those who have a solid foundation in real-world problem solving and experimentation, the bedrock of a rigorous STEM education, become confident, critical thinkers with the creativity to find solutions to the challenges they face. No matter the career pathway they pursue after high school, all students benefit from the skills learned in STEM."

The Makey Makey kit will raise the level of computer science instruction in my classroom, and supports multiple aspects of the DCSD instructional model. I want my students to have access to hands-on circuit and coding practice that fosters curiosity, encourages risk-taking and collaboration, gives students voice and choice in their computer science learning, and allows for more personalized coding projects.
