My Project

My students are intelligent, creative, and competitive! Through our robotics program, they are learning the value of teamwork, cooperation, and competition while participating in high-level gaming and programming challenges. Sometimes we need to take a break from our competitiveness, practice teambuilding and just have fun.

Help me give my students a Nintendo Switch for teambuilding activities and brain breaks!

Kids LOVE video games! The addition of a Nintendo Switch and a couple popular games will allow my students to play together in a non competitive setting, improve their communication skills, and take a break from the competition gaming challenges they participate in. Thank you in advance for your support!
