Here are some key areas of impact:\r\n\r\n1. STEM Education Enhancement\r\nEncourages hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).\r\nHelps students understand basic engineering concepts like gears, levers, and circuits.\r\nStrengthens their problem-solving skills by challenging them to design and build functional robots.\r\n2. Critical Thinking & Creativity\r\nStudents learn logical reasoning by figuring out how to make robots move and perform tasks.\r\nEncourages creativity as students design unique robotic models.\r\nPromotes innovation by letting students experiment with different robotic functions.\r\n3. Collaboration & Teamwork\r\nMany robotic builder programs involve group projects, fostering teamwork and communication.\r\nStudents learn to delegate tasks and work together to solve problems.\r\n4. Coding & Computational Thinking\r\nIntroduces students to basic programming concepts (e.g., block coding in Scratch, Python, or similar platforms).\r\nHelps them develop computational thinking by breaking down complex tasks into simple, logical steps.\r\n5. Future-Ready Skills\r\nProvides early exposure to automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence.\r\nHelps students become comfortable with emerging technologies, preparing them for future careers in tech fields.\r\n6. Engagement & Motivation\r\nRobotics classes make learning more interactive and fun, keeping students engaged.\r\nEncourages self-directed learning, as students take ownership of their projects.\r\nOverall, a robotic builder class in elementary school technology classes provides a strong foundation in STEM, problem-solving, teamwork, and digital literacy, preparing students for a future where robotics and automation play a major role.","fullyFundedDate":1733250420510,"projectUrl":"project/robotics-builder-class-2024-2025/8569103/","projectTitle":"Robotics Builder Class 2024-2025","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Khalid","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9621356_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722624220759","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9621356"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_97558","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":398,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":30,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":30.5,"schoolId":97558,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Baker Ripley Charter Elemetary on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Baker Ripley Charter Elemetary","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/texas-department-of-education/nci-baker-ripley-school/97558"}
