The Sphero Mini robotic balls have profoundly impacted my middle school students by transforming abstract computer science concepts into engaging, hands-on experiences. \r\n\r\nBy using the associated app, students transition from simple drawing paths to block-based coding, and eventually to text-based languages like JavaScript, allowing for a seamless and intuitive progression of learning. \r\n\r\nThis multi-modal approach makes robotics and coding accessible to a broad range of students, breaking down perceived barriers and fostering the development of crucial computational thinking skills. Through designing programs to control the Mini's movement, lights, and sounds, students learn about sequencing, loops, variables, and logic in a tangible, exciting way.","fullyFundedDate":1757547628292,"projectUrl":"project/the-flower-will-not-grow-if-the-stem-doe/9406107/","projectTitle":"The Flower Will Not Grow if the Stem Doesn't allow.","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Willingham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10053481_orig.jpg?crop=616,616,x2,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749567536487","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-willingham"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11481","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":450,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":82,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":49,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":33.3,"schoolId":11481,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Saks High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Saks High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/calhoun-county-school-district/saks-high-school/11481"}
