About the Project

This grant will support a discovery-based, creative approach for upper elementary students to learn engineering, coding, and robotics at Sycamore Elementary School in the Simi Valley Unified School District. Using an inquiry approach, students will engage in student-driven design challenges that encourage collaboration, creativity, and active participation by solving real-world problems while utilizing the Engineering Design Process. By combining technology and coding, students will also learn the fundamentals of robotics and programming with Sphero BOLT robots and Lego robotic sets. By interacting with robotics, students will discover how science, engineering, and math are linked. Encouraging critical thinking, students will design, build, and program their creations.
