My Project

Please help me give my students these mini Sphero robots to introduce them to the world of coding. These materials and supplies will support the exploration of science, technology, engineering, math, and robotics. These mini robots will be used for both the STEM club and lunch bunch in the classroom to engage students in STEM activities and introduce them to STEM careers.

I teach an amazing group of diverse learners and I want them to feel challenged and empowered to solve problems and explore the world around them through STEM activities.

The exploration of STEM careers, robotics, and coding can help broaden their horizons and build their confidence as innovative thinkers.
