Robotics in Rural Alaska

Funded Dec 28, 2016

Thank you for all of your generous donations!

We were so excited to get the new robots to add to our classroom. Students have been continuing to learn programing with the LEGO Mindstorm robots. It is so nice to have more than one so that they can work on using different sensors and strategies to direct the robots to complete tasks.

We have gone from having one or two students who really understand programing to over half our class and gaining. It is nice to see younger students take an interest and the veteran programmers help them.

One of the most exciting projects to come out of the arrival of our new programing materials is that students are creating challenges for the robots out of typical classroom materials. Then they are using this new technology to work through them. So cool.”

With gratitude,
