Dear Mitchell Teachers and 4th/5th Parents,
I've recently met with a group from the UM School of Information and been offered a fabulous opportunity for our 4th/5th grade classes to work with a small group of UM students in the Michigan Makers project during an after school class that could potentially happen at Mitchell on Mondays this year.
Michigan Makers is a program where students Plan, Build, Learn, Share and Innovate while they are building and/or making something. Part of the plan for this year is for students to participate in some of the following "maker" projects: game design, squishy circuits, app design challenge, arduino microprocessors, webmixing, and more (heck, I don't even know what all of those projects are, but they sound fantastic)!!!
I would LOVE to see Mitchell be able to participate in this program. The biggest hurdle in front of us: This program needs an adult sponsor. It runs from 3:45 - 5:15 on Mondays, and it would be at Mitchell School. If you are willing to help, please let Mr. Karr know ASAP so we can see if this project can be a part of Mitchell School this year.
Sincerely,
Kevin
