I am blessed with a unique group of special needs students that I get to work with who have mild to moderate disabilities. We are at a school that has a STEM Magnet program where many of my students' friends get to design, program, and/or build robots. Due to the rigorous nature of these programs, it is very difficult for a special needs student to be able to get into the classes, and the clubs only take a set number of highly qualified individuals. This is why 3 years ago I set up my own parallel robotics club for our school's Special Needs students. I have also set up a Maker Station for my students to be able to experience some of the same design and engineering challenges as their peers. I want my students to be able to have access to the same technology and creative materials as their peers. My school is in a suburban California city where about 10 percent of the families live beneath the poverty level.
