A Banana Piano?!

We started out tech club sharing the kids Rings of Responsibility projects. Students and a family member were asked to use a paper plate or a picture collage app as a canvas for their very own Rings of Responsibility. With family members, they collected photographs or magazine images that represent the types of responsibilities they have within each ring, self, family and friends, and community.






Along with continuing with coding this week the kids got to experiment with a Makey Makey to make a banana piano! "MaKey MaKey is an invention kit for the 21st century. Turn everyday objects into touchpads and combine them with the internet. It's a simple Invention Kit for Beginners and Experts doing art, engineering, and everything in between." 


Tonight we gave the kids the Makey Makey and the directions and turned them loose, all the students were able to set up the Makey Makey together without much adult help!





Next week will start on our digital book reviews!
