Fifth graders use STEM skills to create their own "Operation" games in science class

Fifth graders have been hard at work in science class to create their own versions of the game “Operation” – remember that old-school game created in 1964 by Milton Bradley? Students used their knowledge of electricity and electrical circuits, the Makey Makey invention kit, Scratch programming, and problem-solving skills to create their own unique version of game Operation. This STEM project is the culminating assessment of the electricity unit of study. One creative version involved operating on Head of School Chris Elliot!
