My students come from diverse backgrounds and cultures, from high financial need to those who are not in need. My school doesn't qualify for Title I services even though a percentage of my students qualify for some financial assistance. I teach in a suburban school in Texas. My students are very excited learners who are willing to jump in and learn new things.
I teach in a relatively new school with a beautiful environment for learning, but my students are interested in what is out there and what they will be using when they leave the classroom.
Therefore, I want to encourage STEM careers and learning excitement through cooperative work environments.
I also want to help educate my students in their personal financial literacy building on a classroom economy. I am educating our future leaders, workers, and professionals and want to give them every advantage. Help me to make them successful mathematicians, scientists, and financially literate. Help me make them ready for their future!
My Project
LEGOs make learning fun and engaging. When students are following building rules, they are using engineering skills, working with precision and accuracy. When students are designing on their own, they are using their creativity skills.
My students will be thrilled to use their new LEGOs to complete STEM challenges and build replicas of the world, and work in the FIRST LEGO League Team projects.
I have requested the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Set and the Expansion kit for LEGO League projects.
These hands-on LEGO activities will motivate and inspire our next generation of engineers and world changers! LEGO League projects have always been something my students have wanted to participate in, and with the resources requested in this project, they will be able to do so.
