My Students

My students are excited about computer programming and completing classroom projects involving robotics. We have a 1:1 program so every student is given a laptop to use during the school year. They enjoy the hour of code programming challenges. Students look forward to expanding their knowledge and seeing their skills put into motion when we start using Sphero Bolt robots to complete challenges created by Hour of Code. We recently had a grant funded for 2 Sphero Robots. We're trying to get 2 more so more kids can program at a time.

My Project

Students are eager to learn programming with Sphero's. We currently have 4 that the class shares. Adding two more will allow students to partner program and increase the number of students getting to use this hardware. We're in the process of engineering roadways and creating obstacles to increase the challenge of programming with force and speed.

Programming lights, sound, movement, and collaborating with peers provides students with hard and soft skills that will help them as they prepare for future computer science careers.

Thinking analytically about solving problems while relying on their STEM skills will increase their understanding of and appreciation of the world around them!
