Grades 3-4-5 Robots Rule

Help me give my students a variety of remote control robots to develop perseverance through the ‘de-bugging’ process to problem-solve, analyze, and predict outcomes

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Thoma's classroom raised $2,233

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our classroom will use the requested robots to engage students in a collaborative and creative learning environment that is hands-on. The use of robots helps students become more independent learners and develop 21st century skills including problem solving, comprehension, communication, creativity and critical thinking.

Robots are rooted in De-Constructivism – the concept that people learn best by curious exploration of real world examples.

In essence, robots offers learning by “taking apart” or “deconstructing” examples presented in a meaningful context. Student can discover not only how the technology around them works, but also create better versions of that technology and new applications for using technology.
