My Students

We are located in a low-income community just outside of Salt Lake City.

We are a public school and do not receive any Title I money or funding for STEM.

Our students come from a diverse population around the world. They work hard and have been able to stay just above the Title I requirements, however due to the low income in our area, the only computer experience and exposure to a program like J.A. Biztown, most of our students receive is here at school.

We have been able to put together a First LEGO League team as an after-school program. They won a 1st place trophy in Robot Design and went on to the State of Utah competition held at Weber State University and placed 1st in Robot Games at Weber State Competition. We also use Ozobots and Drones to teach computer programming when we are not busy with First LEGO League.

My 5th-grade class participates in the SIMFA Stock Market Game as well as Investwrite to try to gain additional exposure to real-world applications so they can be college and career-ready as they graduate high school.

My Project

Chromebooks are wonderful tools to learn but it is almost impossible to concentrate and hear what's being said in a crowded room without headphones. Little hands struggle to manipulate the functions necessary on the keyboard, try to highlight words, and hold the pad with one finger while trying to tap the opposite side of the pad to cut, paste, change font, change color or draw shapes without a mouse.

Imagine learning how to code a mini robot, then watch it turn left or right or even spin around like a tornado after you have just programmed it.

Students can learn to fly a drone. They learn how to take off, land, how to bank left or right, and even see the ground from a birds-eye view. Their imagination is the limit when it comes to being creative in STEAM activities.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
