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

Help me inspire imaginations further with the Dash robot. Kids can watch their virtual coding turn into tangible learning experiences in real time as Dash, with its performance and multiple sensors, interacts with and responds to its surroundings.

Dash is more than just an engaging personality.

Dash helps students learn empathy, cooperative play, teamwork, resiliance, patience, persistence, and taking risks.

Children turn code into a masterpieces with the use of this robot. It allows children to expresses creativity and exercise critical-thinking skills by programming the robot to bring code to the canvas by drawing geometric shapes, designs, and words with precision.
