To prepare our students to become innovative thinkers and experience a more hands-on approach, the integration of LEGO Spike Prime Robots into our classroom is making a huge difference in our students lives. I've noticed much more enthusiasm and creativity as students learn and use the LEGO robots during our lessons. Students are more engaged as they design, build and code their LEGO robots! In addition, Robotics Club members appreciated the extra LEGO robot sets to practice with. The portable table topper and wooden frame also allowed robotics members to efficiently store, transport, and use a reliable flat surface (portable table) at their robotics tournaments. \r\n\r\nTherefore, with your donation and support, we were able to obtain the LEGO Spike Prime Robots for the Tech Lab as well as tools (portable table topper & frame) to further enhance student learning and creativity with coding and robotics.

The Tic Tac Toe outdoor games allow for students to work together and problem-solve. \r\n\r\nOur class is extremely appreciative of our donations from our Donors.
