My Project

I am requesting a new Legos Spike Kit to start an after-school coding team with my students.

My goal is for students to not only learn robotics but also teamwork, collaboration, and real-world skills.

The students at our school come from a myriad of backgrounds and levels.

Coding encourages creativity, problem-solving, logical thinking, and collaboration and builds confidence. Students have the potential to learn skills that they will use in the future. Coding allows students to be clear in his/her thinking. Additionally, coding allows students who have anxiety or ADHD to have a creative outlet and focus for an abundance of energy.
