My students have been beyond excited to explore the world of coding through the Bee-Bots. We have used them as part of a station in the library. Students work together to build mazes and then code the bee bot to navigate their way through. While many students are still learning, this has greatly increased their abilities to give directions, collaborate, and build perseverance.\r\n\r\nOur students in IDSE have also benefited from using these pieces of technology. Many of our students building communication or impulse abilities have shown their critical thinking skills by programming the bots through challenges. While the bee-bots look adorable, their impact on building computer science skills and confidence has been incredible. Thank you again for your support in enhancing the learning of our community.","fullyFundedDate":1731703124638,"projectUrl":"project/abuzz-with-bee-bots-in-the-library/8896346/","projectTitle":"Abuzz with Bee-Bots in the Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Erin Whitehurst","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7070950_orig.jpg?crop=1595,1595,x63,y270&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729619962648","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7070950"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1817","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":523,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":45,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.6,"schoolId":1817,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Creech Road Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Creech Road Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/wake-county-public-school-system/creech-road-elementary-school/1817"}
