The Makey Makey Certified Educator Workshop is an intensive, hands-on, virtual class during which you’ll learn how to teach Invention Literacy, Making, and Design Thinking using the award winning Makey Makey. This workshop is designed for teachers who have experience teaching Makey Makey with students, but want to know how to further this work! 

In this one-day workshop you’ll learn to incorporate Makey Makey into your classroom using a number of our apps and activities beyond building a banana piano. Together we’ll learn best practices for teaching students how to invent with Makey Makey in and outside the classroom setting. You’ll do all of this in a supportive and energized virtual learning environment with fellow educators from all over the world. 

In this workshop you will...

• Implement Best Practices for Teaching Makey Makey – Participants will develop and refine instructional approaches to effectively guide students in inventing with Makey Makey, both in traditional and non-traditional learning environments.
• Apply Invention Literacy, Making, and Design Thinking – Educators will explore hands-on strategies for integrating Makey Makey into their classrooms, moving beyond basic applications to foster student creativity and problem-solving skills.
• Design Engaging, Student-Centered Makey Makey Activities – Educators will create and adapt interactive projects using Makey Makey apps and activities that promote collaboration, experimentation, and deeper learning in their classrooms.

Note: Makey Makey is not included in the workshop price. If you are an international participant and do not want supplies shipped to you at high cost, please reach out to us at education@joylabz.com and we can  subtract the price of the hardware from your order.
