Bits and Bits and MORE Bits!!!!!!

Watch the introductory video together

Personal Responsibility:

• Bit Boxes with Bits and parts~
  Students are responsible for the bit they check out
  ($35 for the Bit, $5 for the cord, and an additional $20 for the B Box)
  • Sign out
    • find the number on your computer
    • That is the number of the set that you will check out
    • INSPECT YOUR KIT
      If you open your box and it is not in order and complete, please
      ~~~ report it immediately ~~~
    • Keep all of you materials with you and take care of them
  • Use
    • You do NOT need to put batteries in the bit - we are keeping them plugged in with the USB cables - that will power them
    • Keep track of ALL your materials
    • Use your PERSISTENCE to complete the activities
  • Return
    • The alligator clips and the connection cables will need to be NEATLY wound up and each secured in seperate bundles either with a velcro, a twist tie, or a plastic bag
    • The box should be securely closed and placed on the shelf in the correct spot

1. What to do when you get your bits

Carefully check to see that all of the bits and parts are there
