STEM with Micro:bit

Help me give my students a set of micro:bits to allow them to invent, design, code and problem solve!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Chalhoub's classroom raised $453

This project is fully funded

My Students

My middle school students are hardworking, bright and amazing learners of STEM. They are excited to use problem solving skills and coding while developing their love for computer science. My students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with over one half of our students are from low income families. Our school is Title I and an ethnically diverse school in Southwest Las Vegas. My students have a variety of learning styles that are as varied as they are.

My Project

By using micro:bits, my students will be able to use the problem solving, creativity and programming skills that they learn in my STEM classroom. The students will be able to effortlessly design an interactive program that can be transferred to the micro:bit and then interacted with by themselves or others.

By donating to this project, my students will be able to develop STEM skills while learning another computer languages such as Scratch, Python and MakerCode.

By allowing the students to have first hand experience working with hardware, it will help create a deeper understanding for STEM and the future that it holds for them.

I'm excited to see what my students will create with these micro:bit kits. I am also excited that I will learn something new along the way.

Please consider donating to this project and help my students in their endeavors to learn more about STEM.
