Our school is a small rural Vermont public school serving grades Kindergarten through 6th grade. Our students are happy to be in a beautiful country setting, where they enjoy the nature and solitude of their Green Mountain state but they are also fully engaged and inspired by all the digital advancements of our time. Our students are digital natives and they know that technology is a universal language spoken all over the world. They are engaged and invigorated by digital tools and are continually looking for ways to incorporate them into their learning.
My Project
Students enjoy going to the school library to engage in various programming opportunities. Students in grades 4th - 6th use their iPads to programs with Hour of Code. We also have 2 Sphero robots, Ollie and Ollie Darkside, which students program and maneuver around the library and outside in the outside reading room.
Our students are very interested in robotics and with your help, and the adddition of Lego Mindcraft Materials, they will be training their minds and eventually able to compete in a Lego Mindstorm Competition.
We want to prepare our students for the future with the skills they'll need!
