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 Students
My elementary school serves a close knit, family oriented small rural community. Located in the county seat, "Every child, Every Day" is our motto. The staff is committed to providing our students with everything that they need from personal to educational needs. The diverse backgrounds of our students have molded them to be resilient, hardworking and curious individuals. My students walk through the doors of the school every day ready to learn, ready to perform and ready to show what they know.
My Project
Designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and invention through connected play and coding, the SPRK+ is far more than just a robot. Powered by the Sphero Edu app, students will learn programming, complete hands-on activities, and share their creations with the school community. These tools will allow my students to be creative, using their imagination to Navigate a maze. Program a painting. Mimic the solar system. Swim across the water. Have a dance party. The possibilities are endless. Opening up a new world of STEM for students who would otherwise never get exposure is what creating projects like this is all about.
