The Dash and Dot Wonder Kit will be used to build the students' team working skills as they learn about simple robotics and coding concepts. These concepts will be learned through engaging and hands on activities. I am positive that these tools will stimulate the imaginative thinking in each student and build creativity. My students will become poised learners of mathematics through the use of kinesthetic STEM learning methods. As their math and coding skills grow, their self-esteem will grow as well. This project will provide a wide array of opportunity for my students. Thanks to YOU these students will be prepared for success!
