COMPILE: Make a Difference!

Our spring COMPILE was filled with communication, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. From starting out on a Goose Chase for random objects with an unknown team to random content and grade levels to explore through making, all of our participants rose to the challenge and pushed each other to envision a more innovative learning environment for our students.

Our morning project content:

·        Intro to #COMPILE Teacher Makers
·        ELA Grammar Sort – Digitize It!
·        Math Rube Goldberg Machine – Film It!
·        9^th Grade Cooking Show – Film It!
·        Math and Social Studies Game Board – Craft It!
·        1^st Grade Plant Cycle – Design It!
·        Kindergarten Sentence Structure – Code It!
·        Math Classification of 2D and 3D Objects – Code It!
·        11^th Grade ELA Tone Word Reference Guide – Craft It!

Our afternoon at ACU’s Maker Lab further challenged our critical thinking skills… (Our 65 lbs. supported by one sheet of paper really was impressive… but those 4^th graders who could support 225 lbs. still have us beat!)
