FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hodges's classroom raised $628

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our third, fourth, and fifth-grade students are learning about coding, robotics, and teamwork. They are working together to create innovative solutions to energy sources and distribution of energy, they will create and code the LEGO Spike Essential robots to solve problems with energy sources, distribution and conservation. Throughout the season, they will follow the First Lego League core values of discovery, innovation, teamwork, impact, and inclusion. As we near the end of the season, their work will be shared with engineers and fellow students in the form of a festival.

This project will provide medals for each student, party favors, and all of the necessities to throw a neon festival celebrating their wonderful accomplishments as a team.

It's time to put the FUN into celebrating students who create, innovate, discover, and work together to accomplish a common task. Please join us in recognizing our students who demonstrated persistence, dedication, and teamwork throughout the year.
