I am requesting two Sphero SPRK robots to help teach middle school students coding. The robots will be used in my STEM classroom and will serve 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. Students will code the robots to carry out specific tasks or to navigate through a given scenario. In addition, students will build communication and collaboration skills as they work with others to solve the task. Putting their problem solving, communication, and team-working skills to the test, they will work together to accomplish their assigned task! Staying growth-mindset focused, they will continue to persevere until all objectives have been completed.
