These materials with give my students cutting edge experiences with technology through robotics. When I tell people what we are doing with students in Kindergarten through 5th grade they are amazed. These materials will enhance their learning experience so much more. It will take their learning to a whole new level. My STEM classroom would have necessary technology for the students to use. I need help getting materials and am always searching for sources for resources. Having these robots purchased for my students and classroom would be an amazing accomplishment and would provide endless opportunities for learning. My students will use the Sphero and Ozobot robots in technology centers. They will gain a better understanding of coding. It will show them that there are different kinds of robots and how each type uses a different way to code. The children will be able to interact with the robots and create projects using them. They will again be used by students in Kindergarten through 5th grade, providing young students with an experience of a lifetime.
