My Project

Many of our students excel in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. If we as educators do not foster a students gifts, they are likely to become complacent and not foster their intelligence or creativity. I want to be able to bring a wide variety of science and technology in my classroom to expose students to their soon reality as technology is an ever-increasing industry.

I hope to use Sphero Bolt to encourage students to try encourage students to try new thing and challenge the to think differently than they do in their other classes.

I want to give students every opportunity to be hands-on with technology to ignite a passion and hopefully create the next generation of engineers, scientists, and mathematicians.

Grades 6-8
