Rolling in Code With Sphero Minis

Help me give my students robots as we continue to grow as coders!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Torrez's classroom raised $215

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I love how willingly my students will take risks in my classroom. All year they are presented with different problems through the engineering design process and find unique ways to solve them.

These Sphero Mini's are such a versatile coding robot that can be used throughout the year with my K-5 students.

Students will be able to code a path for the robot to move in, they can drive the robot around a course, and utilize them in our Annual Thanksgiving Parade. They would make a great addition to our classroom. Any support for this project is greatly appreciated.
