In order to prepare our children for the growing demands of an increasingly more technologically advanced society it is important that students develop an early interest and knowledge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. According to the department of Commerce, jobs in STEM are increasing at an alarming rate year after year. In order to fill these opportunities with today's youth it is important for children to be exposed to STEM education at an early age.
The goal of my project is to teach students basic coding skills using the Ozbot coding robot series. As a teacher of at risk students I feel it is my responsibility to ensure their success in today's world by exposing them to early coding literacy. This program will be designed for students in grades 3-5. These handheld robots are perfect for young learners.
By incorporating coding practices in my instruction, these tiny robots will help students learn engineering, estimation skills, problem solving strategies and patterns by incorporating simple coding instructions. As a result, students will use their experiences in the program as a stepping stone into a future in STEM.
