My Project

My students won't even notice the rigor behind the lessons when robots are being used. These hands on learning tools offer coding experience that my third graders will swoon over! They are versatile and can be used to teach STEM related lessons with highly engaging materials. Math and engineering will be our primary focus as we discover how robots work. They will use an app on their iPad to move the robot through obstacle courses that they build. The students will also learn responsibility by charging and storing their new learning tools. Thanks for considering!
