My Project

As we continue on our school year, I am excited to introduce our middle aged group of students (2nd-4th) to the world of robotics. Our school has some older Dash robots that were used pre-covid and it is time for them to come out and be coded again! However, to allow the students to be the most successful, we could use the programs designed to monitor their progress and save their work week to week.

The Dot and Dash apps will allow students to grow at their own pace while exploring the world of robotics.

The dashboard allows for individualized lessons and progress monitoring as students discover how their code impacts other things in their environment. These enrichment tools are crucial to growing student interest in the world of STEAM.
