I am a First Grade teacher at China Spring Elementary. This year it has been my goal to create innovative learning experiences for my students. The students were exposed to STEM based activities through an exploration process. This developed into curiosity of learning through their interest. Many students were curious about robots. I purchased a SNAP Circuit board in which students became experts at using. The kids started exploring VR circuits, play doe circuits and Makey Makey's. Then we invited other teachers into our room and the students taught teachers what they learned. I would love to have an end of year culminating experience for this wonderful group of kiddos. I have found a website called Sciencebuddies.com that has information about using circuits to create ROBOTS! The kids would be so excited to get to use what they have learned to create real robots! Please help us with the expense of the materials.
