My Project

I teach in a rural school in Montana. I have amazing students but small schools often lack some resources and opportunities in the area of computer science. I want to give my students hands-on experiences that could ignite a passion for computer science. We currently have a few Sphero Mini Robots, but we do not have a complete classroom set. I would like to purchase enough Sphero Minis so that each student can work with their own Robot during our time together. These extra robots will give my students opportunity to work independently and bring equity to our learning environment.

Spheros are an amazing and versatile robot that students can use to learn coding, mathematics, physics and so much more.

We use coding to play mini golf, solve mazes, and other games. This is one of the most engaging tools that I have for my students. I greatly appreciate any help that we can get. Thank you for investing in my students.

Mr. Zigweid will only receive his materials if this project is fully funded by May 8.
