In May 2023, Eileen McMahon, the STEAM teacher at CATS Academy Boston, accompanied a group of highly motivated high school students to Vietnam. The students, who formed the group Chuyen Xe Mua He, visited four locations in Vietnam, where they taught a variety of paper circuit workshops to a wide range of students.
To learn more about where this dynamic group went, and to see what they were able to achieve, please visit their guest blog post, “Bringing Chibitronics to Vietnam.“

In February 2023, Jeremy Joven (@JJinCSEd) and Christina Tobajas (@edchristinatobajas) engaged sixth grade students in a highly engaging project combining art, circuits, and programming at the Spence School in New York City!
According to Christina, students in Coding 6, “ideated individually and then with their groups and designed a collaborative, mixed media project (paper, watercolors, color pencils). We had a handful that were 3-dimensional. We displayed these interactive projects on a bulletin board in our school, and each was to be interacted with in a unique way. They then coded their projects using the Chibi Chip.”

4th graders learning how program in Sherry Michalak’s STEAM class
In February 2023, fourth graders in Sherry Michalak’s (@SherryMich) STEAM class at Mason Elementary School, in Mason, Ohio, started learning how to program with MakeCode and the Chibi Chip!
Sherry, who has been teaching elementary students for 31 years (STEAM for eight) reports that she loves learning “new concepts and technologies and [trying] them out with her students” (of which there are 800)! We believe that Sherry is a superhero, and we understand that her students have risen to the challenge!

In January 2023, Class VIII students from @JoshBurker‘s Creative Technology class at the Marymount School in NYC completed elaborately hand-drawn, light up accordion books! This project, one of many STEAM-based activities geared toward increasing students’ skills and creative expression, is part of a broader “scope and sequence in 8th grade of building and using circuits to do interesting things.”
In June 2022, students from 19 schools across Fresno, CA participated in afterschool programs that enlisted college-aged STEAM mentors to teach K-6 students about paper circuits! These photos were submitted by Dr. Paul Reimer on behalf of the Aims Center (@aimscenter).

4th grader from James McHenry Elementary School designing his own simple circuit after learning from the Chibitronics Circuit Sticker Sketchbook. He designed it, determined how much of each material he needed, measured the copper tape, and built his own circuit.
These first graders from Instituto Alpes San Javier in Mexico presented their wonderful works of story writing, art, and computer science at 2019’s ISTE convention in Philadelphia. They each wrote their own illustrated storybooks with lights connected to a Chibi Chip microcontroller. Their goal: To encourage those who don’t like to read to do so, enticed by the interactivity the girl’s code provided.
Youngster visiting the Explora Kids Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He couldn’t get enough circuitry! He even built and tested a Chibitronics illuminated helicopter.
Gifted students at Robert Goddard Montessori School in Maryland teach Chicago 8th graders to code with Microsoft MakeCode and Google Hangouts!
This 5th grader is putting finishing touches on a giant Chibi Chip replica!
A fifth grader built this paper “smart” city by creating little paper houses and connecting them to a Chibi Chip using copper tape. She used Microsoft MakeCode to develop the code to light the city.
