The intuitive drag-and-drop interface makes coding accessible, while older students can transition to more complex coding languages. The robot fosters collaboration as students often work in teams to complete challenges, enhancing their communication and critical thinking skills. It also aligns with STEM curriculum goals, making learning both fun and educational.\r\n Students are thrilled by the immediate feedback they get from the iRoot robot. Seeing their code come to life—whether it's navigating a maze or drawing shapes—creates a sense of accomplishment and excitement. They especially love the creativity involved, such as programming the robot to create art or solve puzzles. The ability to control a physical robot adds a tactile and interactive element that keeps them engaged and curious.","fullyFundedDate":1729709931791,"projectUrl":"project/reimagining-robotics-with-root-robot/8709991/","projectTitle":"Reimagining Robotics with Root Robot","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McShane","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9710899_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725107736220","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/innovativethinkers"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46942","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":580,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":62,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":46942,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Starkey Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Starkey Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/pinellas-county-schools/starkey-elementary-school/46942"}
