My students are an imaginative and inquisitive group, over 100 future community leaders coming from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. They embrace challenges and persist in the face of setbacks. They see effort as a path to mastery. They are risk takers in their learning and practice an innovator's mindset.
They are visionary, courageous, collaborative, determined and reflective in their approach to learning.
They participate in the gifted program offered in our district. Our program goals are to develop creative thinking skills, enrich students in math, science and the humanities in addition to promoting the development of a growth mindset.
These students envision a better world, freely share their creative thoughts, value the unique perspective of others, know that innovation requires effort, think about the world around them and the impact their ideas may have now and in the future.
My Project
The Lego WeDo 2.0 Core set will provide an excellent opportunity for my Ignite kiddos to continue their journey down the coding path. They will be able to design and code models. These activities will offer a foundation for programming that may lead to future careers in STEM related fields.
My diverse group of students will benefit from the coding experiences the kits supply.
They love working with the materials we currently have and are eager to learn more. Lego is a popular tool for learning, to say my students love them is an understatement. They are the perfect way to continue to ignite a passion for coding.
