I'm a Gifted Teacher in a few city schools in North Alabama where our student population is amazing. Our students are respectful, hardworking, and full of energy. They love learning new things.
Our students are eager and excited about learning.
As we have embarked on many new opportunities for our students, we need more items to continue sparking their interest in the never-ending challenges in education.
My Project
Robots help my students develop the fundamental skills of collaboration, problem-solving, and persistence through engaging, hands-on activities that enhance lessons in all subjects. The various apps pique their interest and bring excitement to learning.
Students learn the importance of teamwork.
Students must listen to each other and cooperate. They take turns and practice patience. This is the only way to successfully bring the robots to life.
The robotics and programming teach creative thinking and problem-solving. Getting the robots to show off all they can accomplish requires students to think about these simple tasks in a new way.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
