My Students

My students are inner city students that are trying their best to learn in an ever-changing, fast world. They need fun ways to learn especially after the year we just had. They need to improve their thinking and problem solving skills in a way that involves cooperative learning and thinking.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, and we have previosly ordered robots but are unable to use them because of the amount of batteries necessary to make them work.

My Project

We are a technology magnet and have purchased Robots for Kindergarten and 1st Grade learn how to code. The robots use and excessive amount of AAA batteries and my school is unable to purchase them for us. At the present time, my robots are not able to be used. The students have been learning about coding on the computer, but would love to program their mini robots. The batteries would help my students build confidence in their coding skills. It will also let the see exactly what changes need to be made in a program to make the robot do what they want it to do.
