Help me give my students the opportunity to develop their STEM intelligences through building and programming Spike Prime robots to address engineering design challenges.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Clemmons's classroom raised $848

My Students
Our school district, located outside of the nation's capital, is unique in that it has a diversity of races, a variety of cultures, and 50 percent female to male population. With over 53% of students enrolled are eligible for free or reduced priced lunch so we have a strong need for your support.
Your contributions to this project will inform students of a variety of robotics and programming careers in STEM, prepare all students to apply the engineering design process, help drone students to make connections between learning how to apply problem solving skills, engage students in engineering experiences that lay the foundation to mature into higher levels of robotics, and develop their collaboration skills as they take on projects that simulate workplace projects.
I have a vision of a comprehensive robotics program. Initially, I have started with classroom instruction and robotics competitive team opportunities. The program will expand to in-house robotics competitions and robotics clubs.
My Project
Your contributions to this project will:
Enrich young minds with cutting edge robotic technology
Expose students to applied engineering design process
Foster problem solving skills as they build and program the robot
Mature critical analysis skills as they modify the design and debug the programming code
Establish a STEM foundation for the students to build upon as future STEM professionals
I continue to take small steps towards preparing the young people of today for the constantly evolving challenges before them. Your support will make this vision a reality.
My Project
I would like to expand access to robotics beyond the competitive 6th grade FIRST LEGO League (FLL) team. The goals is to include all 6th, 7th, and 8th graders interested in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) program by providing the opportunity for them to immerse themselves in real-world like problem-based-learning. The robotics resources you support will be used to incrementally form the foundation for a robotics club that is open to all students. The end goal is to have enough resources to satisfactorily accommodate all youngsters who are interested in FLL robotics. Currently, there are simply not enough robotics resources for all students to benefit from this priceless opportunity. Here is where you can help.
