My Students

My students are an eclectic group with many very different personalities, strengths, weaknesses, and ages.

I work with students who may be twice exceptional in that they are gifted and yet might have a learning disability.

My students are a mix of socioeconomic statuses with some having traveled the world while others have yet to travel across town. What they do have in common is that they can learn to code. Coding is a necessary skill that will serve them well.

My Project

My proposed solution for this lack of bots is to engage students in hands-on learning using LEGO MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 robotics. The curriculum, which is aligned to national standards, engages students to become more independent learners. They will practice collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving. By having a diverse set of robots available to use for the after school Botball group, I hope to offer more avenues through which students of varying abilities can engage in problem solving, coding, and engineering challenges. Through this curriculum, students will design, build, program, and test robots to do a variety of tasks. They learn to control motors and sensors. The curriculum’s classroom instruction includes open-ended problem-solving activities designed to make learning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through real-life robotics engaging and fun. Students will demonstrate an increased ability to solve problems and communicate more effectively by applying their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills to address challenges they encounter through the lessons. Additionally, these experiences will help students better comprehend and apply scientific and technical language. Skills assessment will take place through completion of KIPR challenges.
