Thanks to our grant we were able to crate four SumoBots to battle each other at our 2nd annual STEAM night. The winner went on to compete at state and made it to the sweet sixteen. The students were engaged in the engineering design process and learned advanced coding techniques all while creatively problem solving to be the best robot. Here is a…Read More

With the addition of two more EV3 lego robots we are able to expose more students to building and coding the robots. The students are currently building and began to start coding robots for the STLP Sumobot competition. We will hold our own school tournament to see which robot will represent us at the state competition. This will be part of our…Read More

My STEAM cart has been a great fire starter in spreading computational thinking. More teachers are willing to open their classrooms to let their students experience coding and the engineering design process through challenges they can complete with the robots and/or the material in my cart. The best part was having a STEAM night at our elementary…Read More

A culminating event for my grant was to have a school wide STEAM night. Here the students were able to show off their learning and teach others how to program robots and use 3-D design software and squishy circuits. It was a great night with a bigger turnout then I expected. This grant has helped lead the way in putting STEAM lessons into all…Read More
