STEM in Action: Let’s Code will offer resources for our students to learn by doing! Evidence has shown students learn science standards best when they interact with STEM directly. The Spotlight (gifted) classroom at PHE consists of project-based activities that embed the gifted standards to allow our students to thrive and achieve. This project would make it possible for 175 students in our Spotlight program to be able to have student-centered, project-based learning opportunities.
The requested items, iPad and robots, will spark creativity and inspire students to learn new skills. Mention robotics in our spotlight classroom and the excitement is instantaneous! Students completed an interest survey at the beginning of the academic year and robotics earned top spot on this survey. Currently, we do not have a robotics programs; therefore, the need for integration of robotics in the classroom would encourage students to continue building critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration skills to achieve and succeed. In addition, devices are needed to drive the robotics. This is a perfect fit with our existing gifted standards.
