My students need dash robots so they can learn how to apply coding skills to robots in an engaging way to builds a love of learning and passion for coding and digital skills!
I work with a group of amazing students that come from very diverse backgrounds. Although more than 82% of my students live in poverty, they come to school with the motivation to learn and succeed.
Many are the children of Mexican and South American immigrant working families that struggle to provide better lives for their children.
Every day these students amaze me with their resilience to overcome hardships and their motivation to grow and succeed both personally and academically. They leave me optimistic about our future!
We are a 6-8 magnet school with limited money to purchase innovative equipment to truly promote STEM skills, activities and interest. I would love to see our students engaged in hands on activities to inspire their interest in coding, engineering or robotics.
My Project
These robots will not only allow my kids to apply their coding skills to totally awesome robots, but they will allow my students to enter team robotic competitions! We would love to enter the 2018-2019 Wonder League robotic competition and these devices will allow my students to enter, compete and hopefully win.
This competition provides collaborative students groups with coding missions to complete and utilizes the digital skills that will spark interest in computer science classes and ultimately careers in computer science.
The best part of it, is that kids are learning, collaborating and having so much fun that they don't even know it's educational.
