My Project

My third, fourth and fifth grade students love to program robots. These robots and accessories will be great additions to our computer science classroom. Students love hands-on opportunities to see their codes in action with robots.

These computer programming supplies will help with learning acceleration and student enrichment.

Students arrive at my classroom door excited to work and learn with new technologies. Finch Robots and Microbits will provide students with the opportunity to see the original programs they create in action. Robots are extremely engaging and enriching for elementary students!
