My Project

I was recently afforded the opportunity to attend a conference for science teachers here in Tennessee. In one of my sessions, I was introduced to Bee-Bots which are super cute, kid friendly, programmable robots that introduce students to the fundamentals of coding. I'd heard about this technology before, but this particular session really opened up my eyes to the myriad of ways I could use them in my classroom!

I am always looking for new and engaging ways to review content with my students.

I have already thought of a ton of ways I could use the Bee-Bots to create review games and activities of all sorts in my classroom. In addition, students will be learning the basics of coding which they could then apply to code.org lessons, which is one of the extension/early finisher activities in my classroom.

Thank you in advance for supporting my classroom!
