Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the loginizer domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

In my effort to increase my capacity to offer a high quality computer science program I discovered Krause Center for Innovation (KCI). KCI is located near Silicon Valley in Northern California. One good thing about Covid is that there were a lot of online professional development around that time. Because of that, I was able to receive training in Maker Education and earned MakerSpace Certification at my own expense. In the certification process I had access and exposure to physical computing which is what my goal was in order to increase my capacity and in turn, share what I’ve learned with my students and broaden the scope of my program. MakeyMakey is a circuit board that you plug into your computer and it acts like a keyboard. Each metal pad that you see on the Makey Makey is a conductive touch pad. It is an introductory micro controller. A bridge to using an Arduino.
