Tracking Environmental Science Conditions Through Computer Science

Help me give my students theme Microbit miniature computer circuit board kits to lean to code.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Hawkins's classroom raised $532

This project is fully funded

My Students

My target students are in the 7th and 8th grades at a Title I school in the Delta, with a very high population of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. They are incredibly bright and eager to learn. They love working on inquiry-driven projects that require them to work together and apply 21st-century skills. This project will allow students from varied economic backgrounds to work collaboratively with their teachers to prepare them for the workforce they will enter.

My Project

One of the goals in my class is to help students make connections between what they are doing in school and what they are doing in the world outside the classroom.

These Microbit circuit board coding kids will allow my students to not only learn to setup a working circuit, but also monitor real world data.

We will learn to use the Microbit in the classroom, then they will take one the Microbit to monitor this like temperature and precipitation levels where they live.

This Microbit is will be used and to teaching coding principals like if/then statements, with an emphasis on girls in STEM. We will view many of the materials from the IF/THEN collection to emphasize the important roles and contributions that women have made on STEM careers.
