Microduino and Littlebits Arduino will be used as a STEM center. The center will open up a whole new area of experimenting and learning that will stretch the students' understanding in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. These materials will allow students the opportunity to design, build, and code their own machines. According to an article in Edutopia titled Add Coding to Your Elementary Curriculum, Right Now, "Early exposure to coding helps teach children how important it is to understand computers as the valuable tools they are rather than merely fun play things." I want my students to begin understanding that they can be makers rather then just users.
