This grant will allow MWJDS to introduce its youngest students to Robotics, through integrated programming utilizing multiple robotics kits. Cooperative teams of teachers are being created to support this enhanced student learning. Hands on science learning will be supported and monitored by the teachers who have been trained in the Robotics programs, as well as he GFCT and CJP.
Education at MWJDS strives to involve children of multiple grade levels, and Kindergarteners have already been introduced to computer programming, by working cohesively with their Fourth Grade Buddies. A Robotics program will strengthen their interest and ability, and allow them to share their knowledge and enthusiasm across the school.
