My Project

My students are happy, energetic, kind, lovable children. They each have unique backgrounds and create unity within our classroom. We are like a family away from our home. We have enjoyed learning more about STEAM activities with coding, building, and exploring this year.

We would love to get some coding Sphero Indis in our classroom because they help teach critical problem-solving and computational thinking skills while having fun!

We were able to use these in our STEM specials on a loan, but would love to be able to use these in our classroom on days that are inside recess, free time, or teaching about ways to make the robot go in different directions.
