My Students

My students code, but their code doesn't go past the computer screen.

With Dash and Dot they will be able to see their code come to life in a real-world, hands-on way that engages them fully in the concepts they are learning about.

They have been coding using the free online tools from code.org for a couple of years, which has been great and they have learned a lot, but now they are ready to move on to the next level.

My Project

Dash and Dot are educational robots that help teach basic coding and computer programming skills to young students. The Dash and Dot Wonder Pack will allow my students to take their coding from a 2-dimensional environment to a 3-dimensional environment. Students will be able to see their code come to life.

Your donation will help foster logic, critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving, all while incorporating code.

Coding is a necessary skill in the 21st century. Learning how to code from a young age will make these students more successful in their future endeavors. Help my students get the tools they need to cultivate their skills for the opportunities of today’s world.
