My Project

We have been studying and learning about how robots are useful and help in our daily lives. They have seen how robots make work less dangerous, less boring, less difficult, and less expensive! The grant funding I am requesting will be used to acquire essential parts and materials for building robots in the classroom.

These materials will allow students to design and create a working robot with resources and tools to explore robotics concepts one step further, helping them develop problem-solving skills, and foster creativity in a collaborative learning environment.

My third grade students have been working so hard in my STEAM class and don't often have the opportunity to bring home a finished project. Most of the resources I have available are recycled and reused for the next lesson. This grant would allow them to bring home and share the special project we completed at school.
