Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In the library Pine Forest Elementary we love books, but we also love Makerspace! As a part of our makerspace curriculum, computer coding is introduced to students as young as kindergarten! We do unplugged activities to make sure we understand coding commands then we move on to coding on our Chromebooks using online platforms. Unfortunately, we don't have any robots for our students to use to try out their new coding skills.

In order to further our students' abilities when it comes to coding, we would like to purchase two Sphero Mini robots and accessories.

To have these robots available to our students would give them the opportunity to expand the coding knowledge that they currently have and apply it to other areas of their education.
