My students need a LEGO EV3 expansion to explore advanced robotics engineering and design. They will utilize the programming and ideas books to spark their creativity and expand their knowledge of robotics.
Our school is certified using energy efficient fixtures, solar energy to heat water and cisterns to capture rain for area grounds. The enrollment of Koontz Intermediate includes 415 white, 163 Hispanic, 62 Black, 45 Multi, and 24 Asian.

We are a Title 1 School as 48.59 percent of our student population receives free & reduced lunch services. Our Homeless population includes 19 students identified as homeless and 33 who are ‘likely number of homeless students.
My Project
A Lego expansion set will allow my robotics students to further their understanding of engineering and design ideas. The added resources in this set will allow them to design attachments and create mechanical elements.
Students are excited about robotics!
The programming and ideas book will spark new ideas and support students learning. I can't wait to see what new idea the students develop and explore with these resources!
Recently I had students create a robot that they were using to type on a keyboard. The added resources will allow them to further develop their programming abilities and make their ideas a reality.
