Taking the famous Makey Makey piano to a whole other level with Scratch, Makedo and other materials. We had keyboards, guitars, drum kits and more! They used Scratch to find the sounds and assign them to different keys.

Many of you resonated w/ what I shared earlier:
“Students don’t need more motivation. They need more meaning.”
Here are a few tiny shifts we can make this school year to help students connect to their learning.
Which of these have worked for you? What would you add?

I'm thrilled to share my latest book deal, a humorous STEM picture book inspired by my very own cat (and his many "experiments")! I couldn't be luckier than collaborating on it with Justin Krasner and Karen Obuhanych (go look up her cat illustrations right now). I'm still pinching myself! 😃
