My Project

Currently in my classroom I would love to incorporate more STEAM into it, but with the resources I have, it often turns into simple play time. The Dash robot would be to not only change play into learning, but would expand the students' minds to other forms of learning and technology.

My goal is to teach the students coding with these robots so that they can have the opportunity to be challenged in a tech based world.

Teaching Kindergarten in today's society I believe they need more technology so are more adept to learn and use the technology we give them. Without these resources in the classroom, only those who come from wealthier homes will have these opportunities. My students have a desire and drive to learn more. These Dash robots will be put to good use in our classroom.
