My Students

At my school the children are creative and enthusiastic about learning. Especially when it comes to cutting edge technology. Their faces light up when they are fully engaged in technology, gaming, engineering, and scientific experiments.

Our school is trying to get as much funding as possible through grants and donors so that we can continue to brighten our students smiles and minds.

I know my children will be grateful for anything and everything that promotes a comfortable environment, 21st century activities, and mind provoking play. I will be working with at least 500 different students K-5 who love learning, school, and technology!

My Project

I would love to get back to school and have many computer science and 21 century technology tools ready and available.

These tools will help motivate my students and allow them to be successful self-starters.

The more variety the better!

I am hoping to continue to grow our collection of robots.

The electronic robot is a cool toy for everyone to enjoy! It's a remote-controlled robot with many more exciting and intelligent features. The Kinderbot will be loved by my little ones. Helping them to independently problem solve. Robot toys will make a happy atmosphere in the classroom.

The GraviTrax interactive track system allows you to design and build your own race tracks and experiment with engineering, gravity, magnetism, and kinetics to propel your ball to the finish.

The more variety the better!

I am hoping to continue to grow our collection of robots.
