My Project

Currently in our STEM class, K-2 students typically participate in coding activities via iPads and paper/pencil activities. I would love to give my youngest students in the building the opportunity to hold a robotic tool in their hands.

The Code Mice will help my youngest students feel included in robotics in our school, and give them an opportunity to have a tangible item in their hands while learning about coding.

The books will be great resources for a hook into the lesson and vocabulary building that students can continue to refer back to over time.

These supplies will help facilitate giving students a stronger foundational understanding of coding in lower elementary. By the time students reach upper elementary, they will have been exposed to coding and robotics through these items giving them basic skills that can be expanded upon using our current resources.
