Help me give my students a chance to build jointed claws inspired by the biomechanics of a human hand. The KiwiCo Mechanical Claw Classroom Pack and the Wiggle Bot Kit supports working together to solve engineering challenges.
My students have been impacted by Covid-19 in many ways, but the most observable is the need for them to build working relationships with peers. They need activities that foster communication and a sharing of ideas. Team Robot reinforce social-emotional learning is by providing opportunities for students to work collaboratively. Collaboration is an essential component of SEL because it helps students learn to communicate effectively, build relationships, and work towards a common goal. The STEM class kits will help us reach our SEL goals. The Mechanical Claw and the Robot Class activity will be used in small teams of students who will work together to build the two different projects.
