Title: Get Up and Dance for STEM (Step mania)
Post by: Locke141 on August 23, 2018, 11:21:21 am

I found a box of 10 year old laptop lemons at work and have decided to fire up the LINUX juicer.
So far, I've gotten 10 laptops running Lubuntu LINUX, Step mania installed, and have tested several different dance pads purchased for my do diligence quality check.

All looked good, so started a project on Donors choose  (https://www.donorschoose.org/project/get-up-and-dance-for-stem/3467060/?utm_source=dc&utm_medium=directlink&utm_campaign=project&utm_term=teacher_1401890&rf=directlink-dc-2018-08-project-teacher_1401890&challengeid=21052053)to fund the other 17 dance pads I need to teach this unit. The best part is all donations are now being matched, thanks to support from Craig Newmark Philanthropies.

Students will Dance in PE and program there own dance routines in Technology class.

 
Please feel free to take a look and share it around if you like this project idea.

Update,

Thanks to anyone here for donating. This project was fully funded, executed, and was a big success. In fact I have been invited to present at a teacher conferences tomorrow. Wish me luck.
