My Project

Indi Sphero coding bots enhance end-of-year testing prep by boosting critical thinking, problem-solving, and engagement—skills that directly support success on EOG tests. Through fun, hands-on activities, students practice sequencing, logic, and perseverance, all while staying motivated and actively learning in a low-stress way.

Chicod students are enthusiastic learners who thrive when given the opportunity to engage with hands-on technology.

They are naturally drawn to interactive tools that not only enhance their learning experience but also build their confidence. These hardworking students are highly motivated by challenges that require critical thinking and enjoy tackling problems through creative, tech-based solutions. Introducing Indi Sphero coding bots into the classroom will give them an exciting, purposeful way to apply these skills.

The goal of this project aims to enhance student engagement and academic performance in preparation for End-of-Grade (EOG) testing by integrating Indi Sphero coding bots into classroom instruction. This initiative aims to strengthen critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills through hands-on, interactive learning experiences that align with curriculum standards and foster a deeper understanding of core concepts.
