We had our first meeting after school on Thursday. I cannot say enough about how much I love teaching students #botball curriculum. Our group is a mixture of 3rd through 6th grade students, and no matter their grade level, they all showed the same excitement in getting their robot to move forward few inches. Using text-based programming is a challenge but empowers the students. It leaves no doubt that these students are coders. I can't wait to see where this takes them. You can learn more about the Junior Botball Challenge program for elementary students and Botball program for middle school and high school students below.

I have so appreciated opportunities other educators have shared with me. This blog shares the opportunities I have discovered for students and educators as they occur and shares activities and ideas from my elementary engineering lab. Students in elementary engineering build working models, use robotics, and design 3D printing projects using project-based learning. Opinions expressed here are my own.
