“…Enables students with freedom to explore their interests through technologies, and supports their development of reasoning and problem solving skills” (Bers, et al., 2014, p. 146)
Building virtual worlds and simulators make concepts more tangible and meaningful for students and set the stage for hands-on experiences (Smith & Neumann, 2014, p.187, Wing, 2006, p.3, Gadanidis, 2015a, p. 165)
Makey Makey started out as a project that was initiated by two students at MIT Media Lab under the advisorship of Mitch Resnick and is an academic and artistic project. Now it’s both a business and a project with thousands of community collaborators, with more joining the ranks of inventors everyday.

Crack the code for your students’ success!
Future-ready students need to be creative. They need to know how to communicate their ideas and how to collaborate as problem solvers. To master these and other twenty-first-century requirements, they will need to be critical thinkers.
You don’t have to be a “computer geek” to empower your students with these essential skills. Code Breaker equips you to use computational thinking and coding in your classroom – regardless of your computer skill level – to increase creativity, remix assessment, and develop a class of coder ninjas!
