My Project

I'm reaching out to you today with an exciting opportunity to ignite a passion for STEM in my first-grade classroom! I'm hoping to raise funds to purchase a classroom set of Botley the Coding Robot.

Botley is a screen-free, hands-on coding robot designed specifically for young learners.

It introduces fundamental coding concepts through playful activities, allowing children to learn sequencing, logic, and problem-solving skills in an engaging and interactive way. In a world increasingly driven by technology, early exposure to coding is crucial for developing critical thinking and future-ready skills.

Imagine the excitement as my students program Botley to navigate obstacle courses, follow commands, and even perform simple dances! This hands-on learning experience will not only make coding accessible and fun but also foster collaboration, creativity, and a love for learning.

A classroom set of Botley robots will allow every student to participate actively in coding activities, maximizing their learning potential.

Your generous contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant impact on my students' educational journey. You can help us bring the magic of coding to our classroom and empower the next generation of innovators.

Please consider donating to our project!

Thank you for your support in helping us build a brighter future for our young learners!
