Future Coders

Funded Sep 29, 2022

My students and I wanted to thank you so much for the Dash Robots. Students in grades 1 through 8, have been using the Dash Robots, to learn and improve their programming skills. Students have been so engaged and excited to come to Computer Science class every since we began using these robots.

Your donation has allowed the students at Goldie Maple Academy to have an equitable and engaging experience with STEM education. Students have been working in groups to program robots to do tasks such as; dance, find objects on a map, navigate obstacle courses, and so much more. Not only has your donation enhanced STEM education at Goldie Maple but, it has also led to growth in critical thinking skills and discussion with students.

As this school year comes to a close, I have started planning for next year. I am excited to be planning to use the Dash Robots once again with my Computer Science classes. I am also planning to use these robots to across subject areas to engage students in programming while incorporating ELA and math topics. The students at Goldie Maple as well as the teachers will be forever grateful for your generosity.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Geer
