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 students all live in a rural mostly agricultural area in the delta. Families struggle to meet basic needs so I am hoping to enrich their environment by exposing them to as much technology as I can.
Their future depends on them having a basic understanding of the ever changing technology that runs our world.
Even if some of my students choose to stay in this area, agricultural technology is growing by leaps and bounds. I feel obligated to give them as much exposure as I possibly can to as many different kinds of technology possible .
My Project
My students have loved learning about the building and programming of robots and are now ready to learn and use more of their engineering and coding knowledge to push forward if they can have access to the SPIKE expansion sets to go with the 2 Spike starter kits to further their engineering and coding skills.
This will literally EXPAND their learning of building and coding robots!
They have picked this up so easily that it amazes me every time they meet in my class. They are eager to learn and I want to keep them moving forward.
