You have made a major impact in my students' learning. They no longer have to wonder about the world around them! With the gears, they get to explore the world of coding and engineering in a meaningful way. This ensures that what they have learned and will learn last for a lifetime. This winter at the start of the new year my students have learned about simple machines and how they work. They will learn that it takes engineering to make a simple tool and that simple tools have made an impact in our every-day lives. I know that my students can't wait to explore more about simple machines, robotics, coding, and how these all work together. I am eternally grateful that this world still have people like you that care for children like my students.
