ThinkerShield Museum of Applied Arts and Science (MAAS)

Student working with thinkershield

We are extremely excited and appreciative of the Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences (MAAS) and the Western Sydney Coding Club in supporting our school through STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) learning in the classroom. 

Staff at Liverpool Hospital School engaged in professional learning which developed their skills in guiding students in physical computing using the ThinkerShield.  This training was extended to our Community of Schools and resulted in collaboration with Liverpool Girls’ High School and Lawrence Hargrave School.   

ThinkerShield is the simplest, most reliable way to get started in the exciting world of physical computing. The ThinkerShield is a classroom‑ready tool for STEM and STEAM education.

Its ease of use, robust construction, accessible documentation and variety of onboard components, make it a flexible resource for students at all stages of schooling to engage with professional-standard coding.

We have already created a digital spoon piano in the classroom… stay tuned for more creations!
