Back to grants list     Part I. Applicant and Project Information   Title of project: Creative Problem-Solving Project manager: Michelle Blankenship School: Lincoln Curriculum: Mathematics   Part II: Grant proposal   Summary: Introducing students to innovative technology at an early age is an important way to create opportunities for students in STEM fields, especially among girls who are typically underrepresented in these careers as adults. In addition to creating opportunities for students, Makey Makeys and Ozobots in the classroom would be a fantastic way to differentiate the curriculum across multiple intelligences and different learning styles. We plan to integrate Makey Makeys and Ozobots into the Everyday Math program. Students will be able to demonstrate math standards and develop coding skills through creative application of concepts and ideas. We are also designing the project around the Common Core State Standards and Winchester progress report standards in order to gather student data. The current proposal integrates Makey Makeys and Ozobots into the Everyday Math curriculum, but the opportunities are endless; with these resources readily available in the classroom, teachers can integrate innovative technology into other areas of the curriculum and students will find new ways to play with and apply these resources. The opportunities for creative problem-solving are incredibly exciting for both teachers and students.   Part III: Grant Amount Supplies: $0.00 Equipment: $2,000.00 Personnel: $0.00   Total costs: $2,000.00 Back to grants list
