We know that learning is going to look different next school year, and we are hoping we can help by providing content for kids, whether they’ll be learning from home or at school. To celebrate the end of this school year, we wanted to share some ideas for how you could plan to divide up a STEM pack.

Get up off the couch and actually run and jump when you need the Sprite to move on the screen. You can use these game pads with any Scratch project in which the Sprite moves with key controls. Learn to build a switch for Makey Makey, learn about conductivity and the conductivity of different materials, learn to program a simple Scratch program that reacts to the switch being activated, induce physical activity when gaming.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to make your own data tracker by creating multiple switches and a counting system in Scratch. This can be used to track data as you wish. You might create a system for seeing how many students per grade level visit the library, or you might want to see how well your students felt about a concept you just covered in class. This whole guide is inspired from a conversation on Twitter where a teacher wanted to make her own exit ticket system. I’ve created two different versions for two types of classrooms. One is a „data tracker“ for libraries and the other is an „exit ticket“ for classrooms. I’ve included two ways to code this system in Scratch and two different ways to make switches. Feel free to remix and hack this idea and make it your own! A special thanks to Mrs. Barr for letting me set up and test the data tracker in her library and Mrs. Schlung for letting me set up and test this exit ticket system in her classroom.
