Our 5th graders brought science and technology to life as they used Makey Makeys to learn about electrical circuits! Through hands-on exploration, students discovered how circuits work by creating connections and testing their designs. This interactive experience helped them better understand concepts like conductivity, inputs and outputs, and problem-solving.
