Project-based learning
Spark confident makers in every classroom
Maker Electronics Academy gives teachers ready-to-teach engineering pathways with pacing guides, slides, and assessment rubrics.
Every build centers hands-on problem solving so students learn to tinker, iterate, and present their prototypes with confidence.
Why Maker Electronics
Built for real classrooms
We partner with public districts, charters, and innovation labs to deliver standards-aligned engineering experiences that fit the school day.
Teams get shareable pacing guides, formative assessments, and student-facing slide decks so lessons stay on track—even when subs step in.
Studio hours pair educators with mentors who answer quick questions, review student evidence, and offer feedback within 24 hours.
Studio teaching kits
Guides educators step-by-step
Each module includes demo videos, calibration guides, and “teach this next” prompts so teachers always know the next best move.
Downloadable build cards keep students moving independently while educators facilitate critique and reflection.
3-week co-planning cycle with pacing clinics, live build rehearsals, and admin check-ins.
Monthly mentor pods pair teachers by grade band to swap exemplars and troubleshoot labs.
Guides students through sketch, build, test, and share rituals with reflection prompts each week.
Drop-in sessions give teachers quick answers on wiring, coding, or facilitation challenges.

Director of Instruction, Northwind High
Maker Electronics gave our teachers a shared playbook for engineering projects. Students present with a new level of confidence.
Emilio Rojas
STEM Coordinator, Brightpath Schools
The ready-to-teach slide decks and rubrics saved us months of prep. Coaching calls keep momentum high all semester.
Samira Haddad
Instructional Coach, Luminary Charter
Students finally see themselves as engineers. The emphasis on reflection and iteration is exactly what our district needed.
Week 1 • DiscoverObservation lab
Students reverse-engineer everyday electronics and capture wonderings in engineering notebooks.
Week 3 • BuildGuided prototyping
Teams follow scaffolded build cards, gather sensor data, and iterate based on peer critique.
Week 5 • ShowcaseCommunity jury
Learners pitch solutions to families and industry partners with rubrics aligned to NGSS practices.
