My Project
Integrating robotics into physical education helps students connect movement with STEM concepts like speed and force through hands-on learning. Using programmable robots, students engage in activities that boost brain function, focus, and memory.
My goal is to strengthen both the body and brain by combining physical activity with critical thinking and teamwork.
These tools promote collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving in fun, active ways. My students are curious, resilient, and eager to learn. With limited resources, they thrive on interactive experiences—this project gives them a unique chance to explore, grow, and succeed.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
