My Project

With having all these new coding tools and materials available for our students to learn with will open the world of opportunities. Having tools like this will engage our students to development in coding, engineering and problem solving. With the need of hands on materials and with these tools our students will learn in a fun way with working independently and with other students. This will encourage all of our students to new technology and skills in the field of STEM. This will help to increase and improve how our students can learn coding skills from a young age. The goal for this project is to have students learn coding skills to enhance and encourage them for careers in this profession and to be come our engineers in the future. Also we will need storage containers to keep our new tools and materials nice and neat so it can last for years, supplies will be used for grades K to 5. With these new gel pens it will help our students to label their work project in color code.
