Expand Spike Creativity with Robot Essentials
Funded Feb 28, 2024There are not enough words to express my appreciation, gratitude, and thanks for your very generous donations to my class project. My students and I are very grateful for your support of education and creative, hands-on techniques for learning. We are looking forward to receiving our Spike Robotic Kit. This kit will allow us to develop our problem solving and computer coding skills using engineering activities and creative projects. We can't wait to share some pictures of us using our new boards! Thank you again!”
With gratitude,

Spike Creativity with Robot Essentials
Funded Dec 12, 2022Thank you for your generous donation to my students. My students have been able to build not only the required builds for their Lego fields, but these kits have allowed them the ability to explore other builds and programming routines. This has allowed me to advance some of my 2nd graders from icon block programming to word block programming.
My students were so excited to be able to build and program their very own Lego bots. Each class session it is always the first thing that they want to do. Students have had the ability to build additional projects for their Lego board and experiment with programming their own creations to move in a variety of ways.
Spike Essentials has a multitude of lessons plans that teach students about computer programming while also incorporating other content learnings. As I am planning out the end of our semester I am looking into a variety of STEAM/Science lessons. For example, in the lesson: Science That We Can Not See, there are 5, 45-90 minute lessons that incorporate both Lego builds with paper towers so that the class can explore concepts such as wind. What a great way to learn SCIENCE!!!”
With gratitude,
