My Project

Help me give my students a Finch robot using microbits for learning coding in STEM this academic year! We are excited to learn coding with Finch microbits in STEM.

We want to apply problem-solving coding skills with Finch microbits.

The Finch is a programmable robot that brings computer science to life by providing students from kindergarten to sixth grade with a hands-on representation of their code.

The Finch STEM coding program will be very useful for our boys and girls who are struggling and have lagged behind because of Covid.

They will be using these needed supplies in centers for problem-solving, and these tools will help motivate and ignite my students' thinking.

It will spark their imaginations while they are having fun at school and learning math skills to succeed.

We will be excited to learn about math, do challenging tasks, and solve puzzles to boost critical thinking, speed, and accuracy to help math skills become second nature! My students feel as if it is too challenging and stressful to learn and be on task. These materials will make school a lot of fun and keep them engaged and motivated.
