The students had so much fun playing instruments, designing video games, and making interactive posters with them. Students were excited to see all of the exciting things they could do with the Makey Makeys. It also taught them important science lesson about electrical currents. They had to learn how to make sure they were making complete circuits. Also, they had to learn which materials were conductive.\r\n\r\nThe Makey Makey were also a part of our STEM night.

That set the bar high and several have already selected the snacks they love most. It makes others see what they can earn and then they begin to pay more attention in class to lessons.
