Coding and Learning With Botley, Oh My!

Help me give my students the joy of coding by helping me purchase Botley the Coding Robot.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gilchrest Carpenter's classroom raised $259

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a teacher, my goal is to expose my students to new experiences that will help them learn and think creatively. The Botley coding robot will help my students have a fun interactive way to code in the classroom. They will be able to code Botley to solve mazes, navigate obstacles, practice math facts and more! It is a fun engaging way to learn something new.

Giving students a fun interactive way to code in the classroom will give students many ways to experience STEM hands on, opening doors for them that they might not have considered on their own.

Botley will help involve students in their learning creating an excitement for learning how to code in a hands on way.
