Project Description: Purchasing robotics equipment to help build a district computer science program
Teaching Subject: Computer Science
MICROGRANT PROJECT ABSTRACT
Issues addressed: Helping students learn computer science through robotics
Rationale: This project will help kickstart our district’s new computer science program starting next school year. Coming from a rural school, I am hopeful that these robots will entice students to learn more about computer science and allow students to see a hands-on application of programming.
