My Project

My goal as a Technology teacher, is to better prepare my students for the technological world. I want to teach all my students all level of robotics. We think of robotics as the future, but in our current generation, it's the present. Using Vex Robotics, allows me to do that by familiarizing students with programming, sensors, and automation. Through this they hone critical computational thinking skills needed to succeed in both the 21st century's workforce and in everyday life.

We are asking for a donation of 5 VEX EXP robots.

This would help our students be exposed to high level robotics, giving them hands on experience. Students would apply coding & programming skills, all forms of measurements, and the engineering design process through weekly challenges. We have a diverse community, and many have never been exposed to this level of robotics. This exposure would be huge for them and might even dramatically change their lives for the positive.
