Help me give my students the opportunity to try this technology (LEGO Boost Creative Toolbox 17101 Fun Robot Building Set and Educational Coding Kit for Kids)and work with robotics.
This project is focused on reaching out to 4th and 5th graders, as they are at an age where they can effectively engage with the challenge of programming and robotics. Technological fields are increasing rapidly, and many of our current students will need programming and technological expertise in their future jobs. Our students come from diverse backgrounds, both ethnically and socioeconomically, and we hope to reach as many of them as possible with our robotics program.
I am raising money to fund a Lego robotics club at my school.
My Project
The club would meet for an hour once a week after school, for 10-week sessions. The goal is to introduce 4th and 5th graders to robotics and programming skills by building basic robots with the LEGO Boost system.
Students would be introduced to visual programming using the tablets, and would build up to creating their own programs to solve challenging tasks such as making their robot navigate a maze.
I will be coordinating with parents through the PTA and Dads club to assist in running the club. Once students have completed one 10-week session, they will be well-positioned to join robotics clubs and competitions at the junior high level.
