My Students

6th. 7th, and 8th grade students who are enrolled in computer science discoveries/ computer skills. The majority of my students come from low income backgrounds in a rural area that has historically thrived on factory work. There has been a recent shift in our community from factory work to technology based jobs. My students are gaining 21 century skills through my classes by learning problem solving skills, and collaboration and teamwork by working with one another to reach a common goal.

My Project

My students are amazed at what they are able to accomplish with coding. During their time of experimenting with coding on the computer they have shared that they would like to experience more.

My students desire to start a robotics club using the MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Core Set to write codes and to be able to complete in our local robotics competition.

Through this experience my students would obtain real life hands on experiences with coding that they could potentially use later in the career field. My students are very enthusiastic about this opportunity and the knowledge and skills they will be able to gain from this experience.
