Using free online resources accessible to ages 8-108, we'll build and code circuits, illuminating artworks using LEDs. Language-acquisition design strategies that build bridges between linguistic, cultural and individual identities will demonstrate how all students can create their own paper circuits while building academic vocabulary.

Students will be able to:
-Use circuit design software to create a parallel circuit, then attach the circuit to a microcontroller designed for use on paper.
-Use the Microsoft MakeCode programming environment to program and control actions of their chosen outputs.
-Make their own hand-made programmed circuit to enhance a story of their own creation.
Teachers will be able to:
-Use their hands-on experience to integrate student artworks, interactive art techniques, and computational thinking into dual-language programs as well as grade 2-12 classrooms across content areas.
-Access and use free resources to support “Tangible, Low Threshold, Low Cost Entry to Computational Thinking”
-Use Language Acquisition strategies that can help support all students as they learn about and create their own circuitry projects out of common items.

Co-author and co-editor of “Makers in Schools: Entering the Fourth Industrial Revolution” published by Edumatch, Susan has previously facilitated workshops featuring hands-on, constructivist activities at ISTE conferences and other National and Regional Conferences on this topic and on Arts Integration, STEAM, and Technology Integration. Certified to teach K-8, Masters of Instructional Technology, and Admin Certification, L. Susan Brown believes that her youth spent as a 4-Her was a major influence on her hands-on, project/problem-based perspective, and that hands-on, constructivist experience from PK-12 is at least half of a well-rounded education.
Hi! I am a 16th year educator! I have taught as an elementary science specialist, dual language classroom teacher on both the Spanish and English sides of the classroom, as a project based learning instructional coach, as a guided reading specialist, and as an elementary S.T.E.A.M. Specialist. I have also written published curriculum for multiple organizations. My passion is to help educators find the best hands on, interdisciplinary curriculum and projects to ignite the curiosity and creativity in their students regardless of funding possibilities.
