Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 300

The OSMO system arrived late into the school year but is greatly appreciated.

We have not been able to implement the makerspace as of yet, but the materials are here and will be used for years to come.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

The Osmo Explorer Set combines creative tools, games and cutting edge technology to foster creativity and problem solving skills. I want to use this set in my Media Center Makerspaces.

What will be done with my students

Our media center does not have any OSMO systems. The Explorer set contains 9 of OSMO’s most popular games.

The systems are set up in the media center's Makerspaces. Makerspaces are areas that allow students to learn creatively, collaboratively and independently through exploration.

Students will be able to practice their math and phonic skills, will learn coding and can bring their drawings to animated life!

Benefits to my students

Osmo Curriculums are available for free for educators. They can download the Teacher’s Guide and choose from over 60 lesson plans, hand-crafted for Osmo. So there is always something new! The Osmo is a tool that can be used over and over again for years to come, so this grant will benefit much more than 200 students.

Osmo’s groundbreaking system fosters social intelligence and creative thinking by opening up the endless possibilities of student learning.
