My Project

First graders are so impressionable and excited to learn ALL THE THINGS! This is a great opportunity to introduce them to as many things as you can in a fun way. Careers in the future are going to be heavily influenced by STEM.

These coding toys will be a great way to expose my little STEM-gineers into a potential future in coding.

Having different options for the kids to use like Beebots, Coding Cars, The Coding Lizard and the other opportunities will be a great addition to our science time.
