On Your Mark, Get Set; Let's Program Our Microbit Cutebots

Help me give my students the hands-on programming experience through fun with Cutebot.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dawkins's classroom raised $970

This project is fully funded

My Project

During COVID-19, my students relied on simulation modules to create block coding for microbits. The lack of in-person learning impeded hands-on learning, which is critical for robotics learning.

The Cutebots and MicroBit V2 will give students the opportunity to experience hands-on learning.

Students will revisit the simulation, download the files to the micro bit V2, and connect it to the cutebot to experience the cutebot robots coming alive. I teach Computer Science to 198 students, which consists of 6 classes with approximately 36 students per class. This donation will be greatly appreciated.
