My Students

Our students are typical teens and preteens. They love sports and video games. The latest music can be heard playing on their phones before school. Most are from second language learning families. Working class parents come to meetings always eager to see how they can help their children have the best learning opportunities.

They love technology but don't always see how it can be used to help their education.

You see them snapping and chatting. Following each others' tweets and liking different posts. What they are missing is how technology can enhance their learning; both by making it fun and giving them more connections to their learning.

My Project

Programming is a great way for students to learn about logic, a key part of mathematics. Through the familiar tools of LEGO, students will design, build, and program a robot. Their imaginations will and logic will turn their visions into reality.

Seeing their plans come into fruition lets students know that they have the ability to create amazing things.

This reinforcement of their potential will inspire them to continue to reach higher. Their skills in programming and design will give them more options in the future.

Students will love programming and designing, sometimes losing themselves in the moment - but still learning. It's a great way to get introduced to the topics.
