My Project

As a computer science teacher, I encourage my students to explore the many functions of robots in our classroom. Unfortunately, some of these robots still run on batteries! How crazy is that?!?! Rechargeable batteries and a charger (or 5) will help keep our robots running.

The battery battle is a daily struggle for us, and often I have to tell the students I am sorry that there are no batteries and they must wait till another day after I purchased more.

Your donation will make coding robots possible daily in my classroom.
