My K - 6 STEM Students are the future and they will change the world with the skills they are learning from Computer Science in my STEM Lab. Kindles and Bloxels are an educational tool that I want to add to our "toolbox" in the STEM Lab to help students build their future.
Students learn best when the experience is meaningful to them.
How do you make learning meaningful to students who spend hours of their day playing video games? You teach students how to build a video game one block at a time. Bloxels require students to build the backgrounds, characters, and game boards with their hands before uploading to a device. Students are able to use the Engineering Design Process (Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve, Communicate) as they build their game from beginning to end.
