Bots for Tots

My students need stimulating technology to boost their level of competence in this competitive tech savvy society

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. H.'s classroom raised $766

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are courageous, engaging, rambunctious, and ferocious learners who have no idea what it means to be "gifted." They only know that they love to test the boundaries of their learning. Most of them get excellent grades in class and love to read. They catch on to the math concepts quickly, and pass the state tests with ease.

What they love, what they crave, is to be challenged.

My goal for them is to experience that challenge through computer coding, coding in communication skills, in math, in science, in history, in well, everything.

My Project

My students will be learning how to code; how to actually write code and program their robots, or "bots" to complete tasks. How cool is that.

I want my students to be lifelong learners, engaged and plugged into the technology that awaits them.

I hope for them not to be spectators, but participants, creative and innovative. They will plan, design and program with codes that will send the bots through designated scripts and tasks. Students will develop critical thinking skills as they figure out how to avoid obstacles and maneuver their bots through the tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I want them to understand the language of programming. I want them to write the language of programming in the future. I hope to open new doors for them in the field of technology. Computer programs like this are not always available for students in Title I schools like mine. This is an opportunity for my students to see that they can do so much more than word processing and PowerPoint with computers!
