My Project

These robots would allow us to mix learning and playing together both in science and maker space. We would be able to start with simple coding for Kindergarten and get more difficult by 5th grade. Allowing students to grow.

With 16 Sphero minis, students could work as partners, getting individual time to explore.

Giving everybody a chance to explore robotics. This area of technology is becoming very important in todays jobs. It is a skill they will have forever.

Our students enjoy having new challenging stem activities. Many do not have the chance to explore these opportunities outside of school. We need to take advantage of these chances to allow students to excell.
