Gene MacLachan and I designed these coding cards for our students. The cards include  "lines" of Scratch coding that can be used to program specifics components for the Hummingbird Duos such as sensors, motors, and LEDs. You can find these cards in this Google Drive folder .

This video describes my 2019 goal of creating more YouTube content for the channel.

Here is a video that demonstrates the elementary rules in the hallway at Singapore American School.

Check out Design Thinking in the Classroom , a book that helps educators teach and model the design thinking process and mindsets to help learners develop into creative, future-ready problem-solvers! I believe the goal of teaching and modeling design thinking is bring student empowerment. It is a great methodology for learners to use  when solving meaningful problems and improving real world experiences in project-based learning, STEM, service education, and inquiry-based learning. You can purchase the book at  Indiebound , Amazon , or Barnes & Noble .

Two years ago, I created a video about a project where 2nd grade students took on the role of IDEO Toy Lab inventors to design and build a toy for their kindergarten schoolmates. Our 2nd grade students used the Feedback Capture Grid during the testing phase to elicit feedback from their end users.  Toy Lab Inventor Project: https://bit.ly/2IkUPWB I would like to also give a special thanks to the following people for making this project possible: Kindergarten and 2nd grade students, Alice Ahn, Denise Brohm, Virginia Nakauchi, Gene MacLachlan, Heidi Peterson, Paul Duffy, and Jessica Jacobsen.  Intro music by Ryan Little “Summer Dreams”: https://soundcloud.com/iamryanlittle Background Music from EpidemicSound.com - "Find My Clarity" by Sebastian Lestapier Website: www.davidleeedtech.org Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidleeedtech/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidleeedtech Blog :davidleeedtech.wordpress.com Google+: https://plus.google.com/+D...
