The Description

With these funds, I will expand our fledgling Robotics program. Last year we purchased robots to make coding a more exciting hands-on learning experience. However, our 6th graders can not compete in the national competition using the same robot as the 7th and 8th graders. With the purchase of the Wonder Pack

Our 6th-grade scholars will be able to enter the competition. We also need to get an iPod Touch in order to download the app and control our robot

Students will work in teams to complete coding challenges. Although only 1 team will be able to test their code at a time many teams can work on designing and coding their solutions at the same time.

Back Up Plan

If we do not reach our goal I will purchase Dash the robot to get us started. The base robot will allow a small group of students to begin work and we will build our program from there
