St. Mary’s School was awarded a $950 grant for the purchase of ten Kids First Robotics kits and Code and Go games.
What I found to be most successful was how well the 5/4 and 1st graders worked together. The older children read the assembly and coding instructions while the littles helped gather the pieces. I was also impressed with my students’ takeaways; they did an awesome job explaining the various steps leading up to coding and the coding process itself.
What is great about the main kit is that there are many lessons the students can do (and that is our plan). We will definitely take out the kits and again and attempt as many of the lessons as we can before the end of the school year.
