My Project

The DASH Robots will provide hands-on experience with block-based coding, allowing students to visualize and understand programming concepts in a tangible way. These tools will encourage collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity as students engage in interactive coding activities. By using these robots, students can apply their coding skills in real-world scenarios, deepening their comprehension and fostering a love for technology.

Our primary goals for this project are to:

Enhance students' understanding of coding concepts through hands-on learning.

Foster teamwork and communication skills as students collaborate on coding projects.

Inspire a passion for technology and programming among students, preparing them for future opportunities in STEM fields.

Assess and track students' progress in coding skills and problem-solving abilities.

Our students are a diverse group of eager learners who come from various backgrounds and experiences. They demonstrate resilience, creativity, and a strong desire to learn. Being a title 1 school, Many of them face challenges that make access to technology and resources difficult, yet they show remarkable determination and enthusiasm for learning. By providing them with the tools to explore coding, we can empower them to reach their full potential and inspire them to become the innovators of tomorrow.
