My Project

My students are problem solvers. In addition to coding and designing apps, they also create prototypes to solve real-world problems in our classroom Makerspace. The student innovators solve challenges that foster critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication with hands-on learning activities.

The students look forward to using Snap Circuit resources to advance their design-thinking skills as they create, transform, and improve ideas or objects.

Design learning is a fun way to encourage and expand the growth mindset. The Green Energy Snap Circuit kit provides materials to build over 125 different projects while investigating alternative energy strategies is a fan favorite. The Electronics Snap Circuit kits offer over 300 additional project opportunities, each. I am adding inventory, based on the success of those products. My students are empowered and engaged when their work is meaningful. They will love these additional Snap Circuit resources to apply their knowledge to solve real-world problems!
