My Project

My primary special needs class loves to build in computer science class. It's their favorite part of class every week. They are so excited to build, create and work with their hands. These resources will help my students for this school year and years to come.

My goals for this project are for my class to be engaged and learning with these hands-on STEM building activities.

I hope that these activities will help to build upon prior experiences in class and help prepare them for more challenging activities for next year and beyond.
