My Project

I love how curious, resilient, and eager my students are to learn, especially when they can explore, create, and learn by doing. Many of my students are developing their English skills while also building confidence in a new school environment, so hands-on learning experiences are especially meaningful.

The Botley 2.0 Coding Robot Classroom Set will give my students an engaging way to practice coding, sequencing, algorithms, problem-solving, and computational thinking.

Through robotics challenges, students will work collaboratively to plan, test, troubleshoot, and improve their code. These activities will help students see computer science as something they can do—not just something they read about.

This resource will make learning more interactive, inclusive, and memorable while helping my students develop the creativity, perseverance, communication, and STEM skills they need for success in the classroom and beyond.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
