My Project

I love introducing my students to STEM activities that interest them. I am currently building up my classroom STEM activities and I would love to add another. I have used the drawing robots at a summer academy and the fifth grade students loved building the code for them.

Seeing a student explore and persist until they get a desired result is one of the best feelings with STEM.

In addition to the robots, we are asking for filament for the 3D printer in the classroom. The filament provides opportunity for students to design things in a variety of colors.
