My Project

Integrating accessories for our Spheros and bringing iPads into our classroom environment represents a transformative leap forward in student education. These innovative tools empower our students to engage with curriculum content in dynamic, hands-on ways that foster deep understanding and lasting retention. Through coding activities on iPads, students not only learn fundamental programming concepts but also develop critical thinking skills as they problem-solve and debug their code. Sphero robotics further enriches their learning experience by providing tangible, real-world applications for their coding skills. Students are not passive recipients of knowledge but active creators, designing, coding, and controlling robots to navigate obstacles and solve challenges. This interactive approach sparks curiosity, ignites creativity, and cultivates a growth mindset among our learners. By equipping our classroom with iPads and accessories for our Spheros, we are not just investing in technology; we are investing in the future of our students, preparing them with the skills and mindset needed to thrive in an increasingly technology-driven world.
