My Project

Our classrooms are buzzing with excitement for STEM adventures! Third grade students at 3 schools and I are seeking funding for a class set of Sphero Minis, an innovative educational tool that will propel our students into the world of coding and robotics.

These programmable app-enabled robotic balls offer a unique, hands-on learning experience that combines computer science, physics, and engineering.

With the Sphero Minis and Kinazium Construction Set, students will:

• Learn block programming

• Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills

• Explore real-world applications of robots

• Engage in collaborative projects

• Gain exposure to potential STEM careers

By supporting this project, you'll help equip our young learners with cutting-edge technology and invaluable skills for the future. Your contribution will not only spark curiosity and creativity but also open doors to exciting opportunities in the rapidly growing field of robotics technology.
