My Project

What I love about our students is how eager they are to learn how to use robotics! When students don't have access to robotics at home, they can enjoy using them in our Innovation Lab. LEGO Spike Essential is essential for our Innovation Lab to develop essential STEM skills for the future.

Bringing LEGO Spike Essential to our Innovation Lab will provide engineering and robotics with beginning coding to our primary learners and more challenging coding lessons to our upper graders.

Introducing robotics, engineering and coding, through LEGO Spike Essential, to our primary students provides STEM activities that are just right for non-readers or have no experience with coding. In addition, the number of lessons provided in LEGO Spike Essential will keep our upper graders engaged and allow them to develop their coding skills. Help bring STEM learning to our elementary students with LEGO Spike Essentials.
