My Project

I have created a list of random things that I need for my STEM classroom. I am also the robotics teacher for elementary through high school. These are some of the things that would help make my students successful.

I would like to organize all my robotics materials so that it is easier for kids to find the things that they need.

Most of this stuff will go to helping get that organized. The rest of the stuff will be used in my science classroom, where students will be able to use the hands-on models to get a better understanding of the content that we are learning.
