My Students

My students want to change the world, one robotics challenge at a time. Three years ago our school began a robotics program at the request of two students. After competing in FIRST Lego League (FLL), robotics has blossomed at our school. We now have robotic teams for our elementary, middle and high school programs.

Students at our school have developed a passion for robotics and competing in FIRST events.

The passion for our students did just stop at competing on a robotics team; the students wanted more than an after-school program, they wanted classes teaching robotics. Now our school has both, competitive teams and robotics courses.

My Project

My FLL teams and EV3 students do not have enough parts to complete missions and challenges. These students have a huge desire to learn but they are maxed out with their current kits.

My students need additional resources to reach the next level of growth in their education.

Students in both robotics classes and on competitive teams have completed all the basic level of challenges and need additional sensors and parts to complete the more advanced ones. Also, in City Shaper, FLL teams will need to use 2 color sensors to complete several missions on the game board. Currently, my teams and EV3 students only have the basic kit with no additional parts. Getting them the extra parts will strengthen their programming skills while allowing them to be a more competitive team.
