My Project
As Barack Obama states, "Computers are going to be a big part of our future ... and that future is yours to shape." As educators, it is our responsibility to prepare our students to be productive members of the twenty-first century in the field of computer science. My classroom is in need of an ozobot. I utilize many websites to teach children how to code. My students love coding so much that they crave more. This inspired me to want to take learning to the next level by incorporating movement and interactive play as students interact with robots and build obstacle courses and mazes with LEGO bricks.
The students can get creative and use their imagination to play hands-on games as they move with the Ozobots.
We need to empower our children to become makers of technology. Teaching computer coding through computer science engages students in interactive games and activities that are hands-on. I love to see the smiles on children's faces after they code their own creations with the Ozobots. Students can build obstacle courses and mazes. This will allow children to imagine the endless possibilities of STEAM learning and robotics and build confidence at the same time. Having an Ozobot will enable me to pair my students up as they move around the classroom and interact with the robots in a cross-curricular fashion. The students can challenge each other as they work in teams to create challenges like bowling challenges, perimeter races and construction challenges with the Ozobots. The children will be able to build communication skills, teamwork, critical thinking and more when working with peers. Let's fund this spectacular project today!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
