My Students

My new school has enthusiastic, creative learners with diverse needs. There are many gifted students as well as a variety of special needs students. Our school is currently becoming a K-8 school, moving away from a traditional elementary school. My students need opportunities to bridge science, math and technology to help them become competitive in the real world. I would like to purchase devices so students can enhance problem solving through robotics and coding applications. I want to make lessons more engaging through technology.

My Project

These products will help my students become engaged problem solvers. Robots and coding help systems think critically and engage students through discovery. Bridging science, math and technology will allow students to think critically and be hands on with robots and coding. These products will help my students have new experiences that maybe they would not have ordinarily. I want to tap into their interests and let them be creative. I want them to think outside of the box, think critically, experience something new and exciting. I want to take their learning beyond the traditional classroom and possibly inspire their future.
