Last week my wife, Jeanie, introduced Ms. Quinn's second grade instructional class to Interaction Design, an element of her profession field. She brought along 4 "MaKey MaKey"s (make anything into a (keyboard) key), a variety of materials, handouts and worksheets, and had the students apply the STEM Design Process to creating a game controller for kindergarteners.

I saw excitement from both students and staff, and I think the school may be getting their own MaKey MaKeys.

Sorry to ask but I wondered if y'all may please 'reply' rather than 'reply all.' Thank you.

Yahooo, Jeanie Barker!

All of this gives me the "super happy face."

Actually, Lora, I'd love to do it again. I think I'd modify a couple things...perhaps break it up into 2 sessions - the first one giving the kids more time to play and discover what's possible with the makey makey, then spend the second one applying that new knowledge to a specific design challenge.
