Description
Help your students explore coding, STEM engineering, and Black history with this engaging Scratch coding project inspired by the inventor Garrett Morgan. In this activity, students learn about the inventor behind the Gas Mask while building and programming their own Gas Detector Project in Scratch. (Watch the preview)
This project is perfect for elementary STEM lessons (Grades 3–5). Students follow a step-by-step guide to build and code a working gas detector system.
This resource helps teachers introduce Scratch coding concepts in a clear and structured way while integrating Black History Month learning into STEM lessons.
This project is fun, interactive, and a great way to introduce students to basic coding, including conditions, loops, digital and analog Inputs/Outputs.
The guided activities help students:
- Understand sequencing and coding logic.
- Practice problem-solving and computational thinking.
- Learn about an important Black inventor.
- Improve their project using engineering design thinking.
The activities are designed so students don’t just copy code—they analyze, choose the correct coding blocks, and improve their program.
