My Project

Mini-Spheros will give my students across grade levels opportunities to code in a variety of ways. I plan to use them for end-of-novel projects, and presentations, and to make connections across the STEM disciplines.

Spheros can be used for more than just learning to code!

STEM opportunities are important for my gifted students for so many reasons! Using technology in these ways allows my students to use skills that will be needed for future careers. Problem-solving, creative thinking, and other skills are necessary. Spheros will gain the interest of my gifted learners. My students will find ways to use them, beyond what I have even thought of!
