Oversized props can be a tremendous help when teaching to a full classroom (Colleen loves Sparkfun's oversized Lilypad and Paper Circuit props.) Our gigantic Makey Makey tutorial was inspired after seeing Jason Quail of Amazeum post one in our Facebook educator group, and seeing Jen Gilbert's oversized Makey Makey at ISTE this summer. You can make your own oversized yet functional Makey Makey by following (or hacking!) our directions here. We'd love it if you share your makes at the bottom of this guide!

Updated Simple Circuits Lab

Check out the new updated Simple Circuit Challenge in Labz! This guide will teach your students how to create a simple circuit, a basic switched simple circuit, and even dabble with parallel circuits. It ends with inventing materials for DIY switches. We'd love to see more schools tinkering with conductive materials and inventing DIY switches, so please post your students' work in the gallery for this guide.
