Rebecca McClelland-Crawley and Russel Wray were awarded $19,000, the largest grant to date, to purchase Makey Makey boards and littleBits Classroom Kits for every fourth grade class in the district. This grant will give fourth grade students a hands-on experience with electronic circuits as part of the electricity and magnetism unit in the science curriculum.
The circuits and projects they create will ultimately be presented at the school fair. Some other approved grants for the 2014-’15 school year include Alicia Buck, Akila Saravanan, and Karen Rosnick’s “Fueling or Fooling? Food Choices!” at Community Middle School, and Danielle Nita’s “EDP KidzScience” for the district-wide Extended Day Program.
