My Project

We are starting an after school robotics program to provide students the opportunity to grow their coding and robotics skills through participation in local, and state competitions and challenges with emphasis on the planning and design process while building character, growing confidence, and developing habits of learning with a focus on collaboration and critical thinking skills. The curriculum will progress through coding skills -from block coding to python- and increase the complexity/capabilities of the robots and be supported by Open Source Kids (a local non-profit), local school/community based robotics programs, and our parents.
