Highlights:
Roll it into your classroom, lab, or library for the ultimate Maker/STEM/STEAM solution. With over 40+ STEM projects and almost every TeacherGeek component we manufacture, this cart can easily support hundreds of kids. Each cart includes a pallet of replacement supplies (way more supplies than you see in the cart, over 15,000 components in total!!) and sturdy tools to create almost any project. The sign is dry erase. NGSS Aligned. Grades K-12.
Students will learn science and engineering concepts through experimentation, grow their understanding, and evolve projects through the design & engineering process. The TeacherGeek Maker Cart provides ample opportunities for amazing true STEM projects for as little as a few dollars a kit. With prices this low, kids can take projects home and continue to engineer and tinker right at the breakfast table!
Curriculum or Lesson Topics:
Designed by REAL TEACHERS; SOLVING the biggest Problems for STEM, STEAM & MakerSpace
Problem #1: Every student project turns out pretty much the same (arts-n-crafts, not engineering). Kids are “done,” rather than endlessly evolving designs (the design cycle).
Solution:
TeacherGeek allows students to easily create and modify designs, learning and growing through experimentation, redesign and even failure. Students learn more from their 2nd, 3rd and 4th designs than they do from their 1st. There is no perfect design, so kids are never done!
Problem #2: Projects do not test properly due to their construction (no precision, accuracy, usable data). Students are unable to use science to learn and redesign.
Solution:
With TeacherGeek the data works, providing "wow," “aha” and “now I get it” moments. Students see the direct relationship between design changes (variables changed) and design performance. This evidence sparks intrigue, leading them to make more design changes while applying/learning scientific and mathematical concepts.
The MAKER CART is SPECTACULAR. COMPONENTS are a GAME CHANGER. RESOURCES are everything you've DREAMED OF. (There is way more to the Cart than meets the eye!)
Incredible Resources
Roll it in and download over 60 engineering challenges from the TeacherGeek website. Our videos get you started, energized and soaring. Optional labs grow understanding to get students innovating. Documents are uniquely graphical, self-directed, NGSS (school) aligned and designed to support students of all abilities and learning profiles. They are available as PDF or MS Word documents, so you can edit and make them your own. The Maker Cart provides activity materials for years to come, and new activities are constantly being added to the TeacherGeek website. Keep stopping back to uncover new activities, labs, and resources.
More Engineering. Less Babysitting.
TeacherGeek materials and resources allow for real engineering. This means that kids work to the last second, improving and evolving designs. Teachers can be facilitators, allowing for quality interactions without worrying about classroom management.
