Inspired by the Infosys Foundation 2024 Pathfinders Summer Institute, this groundbreaking project aims to revolutionize classroom learning by integrating cutting-edge Makey Makey and Micro:bit tech tools. The funding will be used to purchase a classroom set of Micro:bits, cords, battery packs, and additional Squishy Circuit kits. These materials will significantly enhance the Student College course (STEAM Team) at Elizabeth Avenue School, benefiting the current 16 students and future participants.
Throughout the school year, 4th and 5th graders will embark on an exciting journey of coding and creating assistive technology devices. This hands-on experience will not only enrich their learning but also prepare them for future problem-solving challenges. By incorporating Micro:bit with Makey Makey, students will develop innovative projects like game controllers and alarms, which they can proudly showcase during community events.
This initiative aligns perfectly with engineering, physical science, and computer science standards, ensuring students receive a comprehensive STEAM education. The project's success will be evaluated through participant surveys and guiding plans, fostering a culture of innovation and creativity at Elizabeth Avenue School.
