Celebrate Black Teachers and Students
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
My students love learning. They particularly enjoy Math. I want to provide them with added enrichment and challenge.
The Sphero Bolt will provide opportunities for my students to use critical thinking skills, curiosity, persistence, and acceptance of failure. Students will learn STEM while coding the robot to move and follow certain directions. They will code the Sphero robot to complete obstacle courses and mazes. They will also design art with the robot. Finally, they will use their creativity and collaboration to code their own challenges for the robot to complete.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
