My Project

Help give my classroom some new and interactive technology. These Sphero Bolts are amazing and will be great for my class to start coding.

Sphero bolts are engaging, and my kids will love them.

I received a training this summer, and I know that these will be an asset to my classroom this fall.

My goal is to introduce and get the students comfortable with coding because it is in their everyday lives. I am also using coding.org lessons in my class, and the Bolts will fit right in because the coding is the same. This will allow them to see a real world application of coding.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
