Learn To Code Through LEGO

Help me give my students learn how to code and solve real-world problems with the SPIKE Prime kits. They will align with FLL Challenges.

My Project

The students will delve into coding and address real-world problems with the SPIKE Prime kits. Through participating in FLL Challenges, they will enhance teamwork skills and utilize each team member's strengths. Together, they will construct a robot, strategize to overcome challenges on the competition board, research this year's real-world issue which focuses on oceans, and understand the importance of collaboration for team success. Moreover, they will enjoy friendly competition with peers in an enjoyable setting. To accommodate 6 classes with 2 teams each, a total of 12 robots are required.
