My Project

Coding is an expanding job market. These skills can open doors for many students' future job prospects.

I want to help my students build skills that they can use now and in the future.

With the help of these coding books students can gain a better grasp of both block coding and python coding. The foundation of these skills will allow students to perform several tasks in our classroom.

Charging stations are necessary to make sure that all computers are charged and ready to use. The metal poster frames will be used to showcase posters. The Education Robotics Activity Mat: Robot Rescue will allow students to use their programming skills to save the day and become a hero! The screw drivers and wrenches are essential tools that will allow students to build the robots that they will be coding in class. These tools are an important part of robotics.

Thank you for your consideration in helping my classroom gain some valuable tools for their class.

Grades 9-12
