My Project

STEM education has placed a heavy emphasis on problem-solving and engineering practices. Many schools have created robotics programs in order to help students explore this new and exciting learning opportunity that focuses on problem-solving skills, engineering, and collaborative learning. As an expanding program at my school, many of my students have little to no experience with robotics but are willing and excited to learn.

With these additions to our existing robotics kits, I can help my students expand their learning and advise them on a new and innovative learning experience, rooted in 21st-century thinking and practices.

We have already been gifted the Edison base robots but would like these expansion sets to help us build upon the core skills and expand our learning. The organizational bins are to help us organize our supplies for easier access and storage.
