My students need a Sphero ( a tiny programable robot ) to expand their newly acquired computer programming skills. With your generous donation, the robotics/computer club at our small elementary school will be able to grow to include more students, and offer in-class, interactive programming lessons to the rest of the students at our school. This year, several students and I started our elementary schools first robotics/computer club. The club started off small with only a handful of very curious, very excited students. Now, after a few months, interest in the club, and computer coding and STEM education in general, has grown beyond anything I would have expected!
