My Project

Creating a STEM based classroom is our focus and being able to provide my students with opportunities to build knowledge and skill within a technology-based environment is essential for future growth and educational opportunities.

My students strive each day to work and create opportunities for learning while building a valuable skill set through project-based lessons in robotics and basic engineering.

We are a low-income school with many students on free and reduced lunch thus much of their opportunity for advanced learning is found within my classroom walls.

These robotic units will help them not only fulfill our stem focus but also help them gain valuable experience with technology that is not always found within the middle school grades.
