Starting Them Early with STEM

Help me give my students a hands-on coding experience with a KIBO Robotics kit.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Blaszczynski's classroom raised $669

This project is fully funded

My Project

The KIBO robotics kit provides STEM learning to younger students through hands-on, screen-free imaginative play. Through play, they will learn necessary 21st Century skills that will also enhance their learning in other academic areas.

KIBO is a fun and engaging way for students from PreK through Elementary to bring their learning to life!

With KIBO, my Pre-K to 1st grade students will learn problem-solving, critical thinking skills and gain an introduction to logical thinking and the engineering process.

My students are very active and eager to learn. The hands-on, familiar nature of the blocks used in the kit will keep them engaged, while they learn.
