My Project

I absolutely love my students! They are bright, inquisitive, and passionate learners who are always eager to explore new horizons. Their enthusiasm for STEM subjects is infectious, and I am constantly amazed by their creativity and problem-solving skills. What makes them truly special is their willingness to collaborate and support each other, fostering a positive and inclusive classroom culture.

The Sphero Minis, Botley 2.0, and Sphero Indi will allow my students to engage in hands-on, interactive learning experiences that encourage critical thinking, coding, and problem-solving.

By introducing a range of robots into our classroom, we can take our STEM learning to the next level. They will learn how to program these robots to navigate mazes, complete challenges, and solve problems, while developing valuable skills such as teamwork and communication.

Through this project, my students will gain a deeper understanding of robotics and technology, preparing them for future careers in STEM fields. With your help, we can create an exciting and innovative learning environment that inspires and empowers our students to achieve their full potential. Thank you for your support!
