My Students

Studying technology can be a wonderful experience. I'm hoping to eliminate a lot of the frustrations my students experience in my Tech classes when they use our old robots by updating our set to the new and improved EV3 versions.

We live in a rural Idaho community that still values "vocational" education.

My students are interested in learning skills they can use in their daily lives - possibly even for making a living. We have about 600 students in a 7th and 8th grade only building. I get to see on average 100 of them each trimester.

My Project

With these new robots, students will be able to quickly and easily test out programs they've written. Most of the robots we currently use do not have working screens, and several of them have worn ports causing poor connections to motors and sensors. Being able to "plug and play" will allow them to go further in their experimentation, and not only learn how the sensors work but also see what they see! With this knowledge I hope they will also be able to adapt their programs to compete in a classroom "challenge" to see whose robot can navigate the maze.

Technology changes at the speed of light.

Having a new set of classroom robots will help my students keep up with the ever expanding field and give them an edge as they continue their education.
