Improving Engineering and Fine Motor Skills With Crochet

Help me give my students access to a large quantity of yarn to work with to learn how to crochet. We will learn how to crochet simple patterns and eventually learn to to make crochet flowers and plants.

My Project

The Robotics Team works best when working on being creative and learning new skills together. The team looks forward to the chance to sit down and focus on a new task together, and during our off-season, finding new ways to bond as well.

This latest project aims to help students on the team develop their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and time management.

Our goal is to help re-focus those students who need to have tasks to complete on a schedule, teach a skill which helps them to learn to follow patterns/instructions more closely, and to give their brains an active task to complete this summer for the benefit of the team.

Our hope is that created items will help build students' confidence in their creative skills and that these items may be used for a fundraiser next year to help support the team for our competition season.
