The Gift of STEM In #STEMChat This Week!

One awesome giveaway will be CodeMaster.  I am in love with the idea that a board game could foster coding logic skills.  While it’s a single player game, I think it would be the perfect partner or trio activity for the classroom to inspire collaboration and teamwork.  60 levels challenge learners to push their thinking.   I immediately thought about those Minecraft and Lego loving learners we all have in our classrooms when I took a look at this game.

Another game that really caught my eye, and immediately made me think, “YES! Something musical for our Launch Pad maker space,” is Compose Yourself that allows kids to compose their own music using a special deck of transparent cards, then listen to their music online.  There’s much more to it, but it got me thinking about the music space as a maker space, and it’s definitely one area of learning I don’t want to forget. Even though I can’t sing a note.

Since #STEMChat is once again partnering with ThinkFun and will be giving away these two awesome games above, including a Holiday Hoopla Pack, they’re also giving away the awesome rocket inspired Laser Maze™ Jr, and a twist on a classic favorite in Rush Hour Shift.
