My Students

My students are in grades Kindergarten - 5th grade and are full of energy and curiosity.

They love to use technology to explore and find out more about the world around them.

It is our goal to give the students as many opportunities as we can to explore and learn using technology. They love STEM and chances to challenge themselves to learn new things. The students in our school wok hard every day to learn and grow regardless of their challenges.

My Project

Our students can use their imaginations to be inventors and innovators! By adding these Little Bits kits to our MakerSpace, our students will be able to explore, create, and build.

These small electronic circuits will give them opportunities that they may not get in their classrooms or at home.

We have a unique opportunity in our MakerSpace for the students to try new things and learn more about areas of interest that they don't have the chance to learn about in their traditional classroom settings. We think it is important to expose them to as much as we can so they leave our school with a variety of experiences.
