5th grade keyboard art!

We took the reverse engineering skills we learned from AWIT (Advocating for Women in Technology) and used those skills to take apart some old keyboards and other things that were broken and destined for a landfill.  We turned trash into art and learned how keyboards work in the process!  The 5th graders are used to using tools now so they were naturals at taking apart this technology.  We collected all the parts together and made creative things with them.  They made wallets, bracelets, necklaces, signs, or just artistic pieces.  You should see these coming home in the next few days and a few will be displayed in the lobby of the office.
