My ultimate goal is engaging learners. We hope to increase the number of girls who are interested in coding and robotics. We have one FIRST FLL team at our elementary school & we would love to grow our 4th & 5th grade FLL teams. We are encouraging more girls to get involved. The LEGO Robotics Mindstorms software allows students to think through the cause and effect relationships with little robots. When a student is able to drive a robot through a code, which she creates, this girl is unstoppable! Using Mindstorms, students create a code, which will in turn drive the little motors, engage the little sensors, and activate noises. Now, we're raising the bar for what students are able to do with coding in the classroom. This project will allow students to bring their computer programming and coding to the next level. Coding on the screen and programming graphics is one of the first steps we use within the Hour of Code and other online coding resources. Implementing the LEGO EV3 into classroom projects will allow for more students to have exposure and create a basic understanding for coding & robotics. I hope to spark and interest which will accelerate their curiosity and motivate students to join our FLL team.
