How have teachers used Chibitronics in their classrooms? Chibitronics is incredibly versatile for teacher's to use in their classroom. It can be implemented across disciplines- including mathematics and social studies! I find that many teachers (particularly social studies) wonder how they can implement such tools in a way that will be beneficial to the content. Chibitronics is crafted with a creative side that teachers can use among different ages and different subject matter. A WWII Circuit Map is just many of the projects social studies teachers can use while implementing Chibitronics into their curriculum. It is a fun and engaging way for students in the secondary level to explore geography and understand the importance it had on WWII. Here you see the student set up circuits behind the Axis powers to light all at the same time when turned on. They also have circuits behind the countries who were Allies, and who were neutral through out the war.This gives the students a better understand of alliances which was a major point throughout the war. Light-up storyboards are the perfect way to wrap up chapters or books students have finished reading. It is also perfect to use in creative writing! They are easy and fun to design but also highlight the important aspects of their writing piece. It can also be used in social studies classes- students can recreate a moment in history and use it to show the significance and importance of that moment in time- or simply use it to go over the end of a chapter! I love this because it can really be used among all ages- both secondary and primary!
In general, chibitronics is a fun ad simple way for students to create while learning content across disciplines. It is a simple, creative way to add some fun and "light up" your classroom!
