My Students

The students at my school are incredible. Ours is a Title I school with approximately 50% of our students receiving free or reduced price meals each day.

My students are working hard each day to master the skills required of them in school, and I want to do all I can to make sure they have the tools they need.

I appreciate your help in meeting the needs of my students, and I know they will appreciate your help, as well.

My Project

Many of my students have been fortunate to have been exposed to the benefits of coding through their classes, or our after school STEM camps. Now, I'm ready to take them to the next level of building their own robot.

Lego Mindstorms EV3 will take us there.

This fantastic kit that includes everything needed for students to design, build and program robots. Mindstorms will work with the Chromebooks we already have, so we are ready for students to develop the 4 C's - creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking right away.

The cardstock and ink cartridges will add to the experience in the form of task cards that students can work through at their own pace, choosing a challenge that interests them.
