My Students

I teach Transitional First so I have 20 very active students. They love hands-on activities! This project would be amazing for my students to incorporate into our daily schedule to not only learn hands-on computer engineering skills, but to be able to collaborate with other classes.

My students are very active!

We are always learning through hands-on discovery learning. This robot would allow my students to learn life skills of computer engineering through the use of this robot. My students are very interested in robotics, but our school has no extra funding for robots.

My Project

We will use these materials during our science theme time. My students love hands-on learning. I will incorporate computer engineering into my science area to teach my students life skills and career skills. This robot can also we used to collaborate with other classes across the globe because of the use of cell phone service. I will use my own personal cell phone to control the robot.

This project will truly make a difference because our school does not have funds to provide these hands-on life and career skills to our students.

This project will provide needed materials to get my students ready for careers even at an early age.
