My Project

Having multiple Apple iPads available will allow my students to learn about coding by programming Sphero robots, LEGO Mindstorm robots, use the Osmo interactive game system, create their own video games using Bloxels, and explore various educational apps. They will learn skills that will help them to compete with their peers as they grow up and enter the workforce.

Students need access to meaningful technology so that they will be prepared to enter a career in a STEM field if they choose in hopes of creating future technologies that will impact our world.

Bringing various types of technology into the classroom will help foster their curiosity and creativity. We are evolving into an ever-expanding technologically advanced world and our students need to be ready to compete on a global scale.
