Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 13

Our robotics students are so excited with their new tools! Their favorite is the solar panels even though we have just began to dabble in the expirimenting with them. We were able to use the storage bins to get ourselves organized. This grant and these pieces of equipment are extremely appreciated! Thank you so much for supporting our robotics program!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Purchase additional parts needed for a successful robotics season in 2019-2020.

What will be done with my students

Build a competition robot, learn programming and strategies, plan for culminating event (either county competition or NEFL level competition), integrate robotics into the middle school student body by having a Lego club at the close of robotics season, etc.

Benefits to my students

Robotics teaches students team work, positive behavior, sportsmanship, and critical thinking along with educational benefits. The programming really emphasizes math with using percentages, ratios, and having to everything from basic math to algebra to calculate the route.

Budget Narrative

We have found that many of the power parts for the EV3s do not last multiple seasons. We would like to experiment with solar power on our robots after our competition season.
