Daniel’s friends applied for a school district innovation grant and received around $8,000 to create a class where they can meet and design. They call the class “The Maker Collective.” Obviously, they didn’t consult their mothers for the name.
They are designing with Arduinos and Raspberry Pis. No, I do not know what I am writing about.
They have designed buzzers for Jeopardy game, have an additional $10,000 grant to build a robot for a hospital, and many other projects. They have failed in some things and ruined some equipment, but Daniel is working hard at their fundraising efforts. Lately, he is writing a tutorial for people to use their fundraising product.
I don’t get to see what our kids do in school very often, so I thought I’d share. Photos are from the district Facebook page.
