This year my grant focuses on how better to prepare my students for the 21st century and problem solving. I have received a grant for Dash and Dot robots and lesson plans for my math class. I hope to implement coding into my 3rd and 4th grade math class this school year and allow my students to be more creative thinkers and prepare a foundation and confidence for STEM learning and success on their own terms. I hope to use the robots to teach students the basics of coding, gain exposure to the world of coding, to teach younger students how to code. I also hope they help to teach my students empathy, cooperative play, teamwork, patience, and risk taking that will carry them through not only school, but the rest of their lives.
