Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Meet my extremely gifted students who are inspired to make an impact in a plethora of stem careers. They have created amazing projects over the years and are poised to show their skills in both innovation and invention. My students are always eager to learn and more importantly tell others off the amazing works they are producing.

My Project

This computer will be able to handle the programming and designing workload to actively compete in nationally recognized robotics competitions. The students will have access to the item at school and be able to use it at the competitions themselves. Students will learn many skills activating their ability to work as groups, learn innovative programming languages and critically design robots for competition.

Students work together collaborating on the design of the robot to compete in differing skill games, and thus increasing their ability to problem solve and troubleshoot systems.

Applying their knowledge of the design process along the way to creating an environment of fun and excitement while learning to achieve substantial goals.
