This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Bright, excited, and very tech savvy - this is how I would describe my Project Lead the Way students this year! They are an awesome bunch; ready to take on all the exciting challenges of our Project Based Learning STEAM school.
Our school serves students in grades 6-8; we strive to instill Respect, Empathy, Ambition, and Leadership in all of our students on a daily basis.
Approximately 90% of our students participate in the free/reduced lunch program and, outside of my classroom, may not have the resources or opportunity to be a part of robotics and engineering centered activities.
My Project
With this starter kit we will be able to create three First Lego League (FLL) Robotics teams each school year. We will be able to further our knowledge of basic engineering design and programming, problem solving, and an FLL key term - "coopertition". Where we learn through friendly competition and cooperation. By continuing to expose my students to various forms of building and programming I am preparing them for a future full of success in various STEAM related fields. My students LOVE robotics and an FLL addition will further their love of the subject and create life long STEAM learners.
