Spagetti Towers, Paper Circuits & Pepper Pianos...."Oh My"

5/25/2017

Our final weeks we tinkered with Paper Circuits, Lil bits, Makey Makey and finished off with a spagetti marshmallow tower challenge. Students used the Makey Makeys to create pianos from bell peppers and play guitar hero with a controller/guitar made from cardboard and coins. Makey Makey can turn any conductive substance into a external keyboard! Its been a fun and fast quarter, we all wished we had more time in this class. I will miss these kiddos as they head off to summer and then HS.

wHAT IS A MAKER LAB?

Our Maker Lab is a place where kids can come to create, innovate, tinker, and explore a variety of materials and technologies. During class students will be exposed to engineering and design, computer science, electronics, and a variety of trade skills. The course is based on student interests, goals and creativity, not a set curriculum.
