Explore More

During the Kenan Fellowship, I enjoyed the time to explore. I learned a great deal through my externships because I actively engaged in the lab work.

Now, I want to explore with my students. I recently received a grant from DonorsChoose for six Makey Makey kits. I am very excited. I have the media specialist, technology specialist, and two parents who have told me that they would love to help students design projects. At lunch, I will open my class to students who want to explore some cool electronic projects. I also want to collect my lost souls, the students who don’t appear to have friends at school or struggle with academics. After the students have developed their Makey Makey projects, I will showcase their projects in my science class.

My Makey Makey sets are coming in next week and I want to start the club as soon as possible. The club will get my students enthusiastic about science and keep me dreaming about future exploratory projects.
