My Project

I am requesting LEGO creation sets and drones to help my students be creative and use their analytical minds. We will put the LEGO sets in our wellness room and let students build them when they are stressed out or need a break. We are also asking for Drones and Drone obstacles that way our robotics class and coding class can compete against each other and use problem solving skills to help them be successful.

By giving student opportunities to work with their hands we are helping them with experiential learning as an approach that immerses students in practical experiences, fostering a deeper connection with the subject matter.

My students will gain a deeper understand of the content and themselves by being able to take the time to reset and create something with their hands. Students will also be able to create items that will help our wellness room be more inviting. My robotic students will be able to use the new skills that they learn and apply them to the flying of the drones and this will also help them with communication skills as they work together in groups.
