Elementary School Students Need 7 Sphero Mini for Learning Programming

Help me give my students to get 7 Sphero mini for learning computer science.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Cheng's classroom raised $451

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our school has about 300 students who study from Pre-K to 5th grade. Most of them are African American children and Hispanic children. Most of them come from low-income families. They are nice and respectful when they interact with other people. They smile at people when they meet people in the morning. Some of them are struggling in math and English, but they work very hard to overcome the challenges. It is my pleasure to be their teacher in the school this year.

My Project

My students are African American children and Hispanic children. They come from low-income families and have limited resources for learning. This project will be awesome for my students. They will program the Sphero Mini to develop their computer coding skills. Every three months, seven groups of 2 elementary school students will use the Sphero Mini to complete different challenging computer science tasks. Eventually, 42 students will use the Sphero Mini in this school year. (14 students x 3 = 42 students.) My students are excited to learn about programming. They need hands-on learning experiences to develop their logical thinking skills and problem-solving skills. Please help my students. Thank you.
