My Project

My students are diverse, urban, and excited to learn. After building robotic arms and self driving cars from scratch (no kits, just their brains), my students will use these bluetooth modules to adapt our projects into something even more awesome.

My students will struggle, overcome, learn, collaborate, adapt, and have FUN while using these resources to make their very own Battle Bots!!

My students will have fun while pushing their limits and working on new, creative, projects where they can use their different backgrounds and experiences to learn and overcome. Thank you so much for your support!
