This month, engage your students with hands-on STEM and creativity using Makey Makey! 💡Create an interactive poster that showcases Black innovators, scientists, musicians, and poets throughout history.

Students can design and build their own posters, using everyday materials like aluminum foil to create touchpoints. As they research and learn about influential Black figures, they’ll integrate their findings into a dynamic, interactive display.
Record voices, poetry, or even interview quotes using the Makey Sampler app and bring the creations to life!

Let imagination and storytelling spark curiosity about the amazing contributions of Black leaders in history.
