Mrs. Ackerman-ATPE member from Houston TX is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Jimu for Your Brain

My students need a Jimu Robot to help cultivate their three-dimensional thinking, engage their technical abilities, and encourage problem-solving and creativity.

My Students

My students will range from kindergarten to fifth grade; they are eager to learn and not afraid to take a risk. Students come from hard working dual income families living in a suburban area outside of Houston, TX. We have over a thousand students in our school. Next school year another teacher and myself will be in a nontraditional library learning community, and we need resources to engage and encourage problem solving. Students will come to the learning commons with different backgrounds and skill sets; however, they all love the opportunity to explore and discover.

My Project

With the addition of the Jimu Robot I will be able to offer another device for students to explore and create using hands-on technology with the connection to an iPad app or an Android device. Within our learning commons it is our goal to offer as many opportunities for students to use technology and programming skills. By having these types of experiences, students learn to take risks and investigate without the parameters or limitations of having a set specific right or wrong answer. Our learning commons will include many opportunities where students will learn to problem-solve and overcome obstacles and challenges.
