Makey Makey Devices: the maker-carts will include a box full of eight MakeyMakey devices and accessories. Example project: After reading "The Most Dangerous Game" short story, students will use text evidence to create a map of Ship-Trap Island. They will use the Makey Makeys to turn the maps into an interactive exhibit by selecting at least four major landmarks on the map and use scratch to record themselves explaining what significant events happened at each landmark and how they propelled the plot. Viewers can touch the map in order to hear the recording (CC.SS RL 8.1, 8.3).
Copper tape, playdough, and other MakeyMakey accessories.
Extras: Bins and baskets will be used to hold scrap cardboard, fabric, paper, and other "junk" materials for creation. These resources could be used in combination with with other resources on the cart or in isolation. Example project: students use materials from the maker cart to build a model of a molecule that can be hung as a mobile. (NG.SS MS-PS1-1).

Lilypad Arduino Main Boards: The maker-cart will contain four LilyPad Aruduino Main Boards and associated accessories. Example project: After reading Romeo and Juliet, students will create an interactive costume for one of the characters. These costumes will have areas that light up and play an audio or video recording that students created explaining how the social expectations of the time impacted how the character behaved in the story. (CC.SS RL 8.1, 8.3)

Cricut Die Cutting Machine: the maker-cart will include a Cricut Die Cutting Machine and a single ipad (we have plenty and school that are never used) with the design space software loaded on it. Example Project: After learning about food webs, trophic pyramids, and bioaccumulation, students will map the movement of energy, matter, and toxins in an environment by creating a graphic using stencils created on the Cricut. (NG.SS. MS-LS2-3).
Paper, Vinyl, and materials for Cricut

Student Materials: There are a variety of websites and programs that can be used for digital making. Our school has a 1-to-1 Chromebook program-- every student has their own device. Besides the programs needed to run the other devices on the maker cart, students can utilize additional digital programs for making. Example Project: students can design a "set" with found objects from the maker-cart and record tutorial videos for math concepts using the online platform Flipgrid. (any CC.SS math standard)
Chromebooks with accounts for Scratch, Arduino Web Editor Online.
