My Project

My students are members of the school's robotics teams. They are 4th and 5th-grade students who love STEM concepts. They are enthusiastic about solving local and global problems facing our communities. They enjoy exploring and programming robots. Our students come from various backgrounds, but all have one common goal - learning! My students enjoy learning new things every day. Also, they love learning with others.

These laptops will be a valuable asset to our robotics teams.

Many of our students have not been exposed to robotics, but have an interest in joining a robotics team. Having three teams, the laptops will allow more students to join, explore, and collaborate with others. The students will be able to learn and program robots using the laptops. Also, they will learn team-building skills.

Each team will have access to a laptop for all ten members to share. Currently, we have only a teacher laptop. With three laptops, the teams will have their own to utilize for practice and to travel with to robotics competitions.
