Project Goal

I teach K-5 gifted students elearning. My goal is to engage them in the learning of Robotics at home during elearning with STREAM hands-on activities that will develop their critical thinking and computational thinking .

How Project Benefits Students

Elearning can be challenging in itself. Gifted students needs to have hands-on activities that will take them to a higher order thinking in using technology. STREAM in the gifted elearning classroom encourages students to solve real world problems. Students will explore varies of STREAM topics. My gifted students are eager to do coding and solve problems. These activities are tailored to spark Computational Thinking, Critical thinking, Communication, Collaboration and Creativity. When doing these activities they get Engaged they want to Explore, Explain, and Evaluate to the extent of Elaborate, the 5 E’s of the scientific process.

Expected Outcome(s)

This year I will teach elearning to about 30 dynamic gifted students in grades K-5. My goal is to expose my students to a variety of experiences that will help them grow in the STREAM fields. In addition, this will help motivate my students and get them excited about the STREAM fields. Through hands-on experiences they will plan, build, problem solve and reflect on their learning. Lastly, these materials will help me reinforce a variety of Florida Gifted Standards such as;

SC.3.N.1.1 Raise questions about the natural world, investigate them individually and in teams through free exploration and systematic investigations, and generate appropriate explanations based on those explorations.

Detailed Cost Summary

The littleBits At-Home Learning Starter Kit helps learners develop critical STREAM skills through lessons that apply fundamental concepts such as circuitry, engineering, physics, art, and design thinking.
This electronics kit includes a carefully curated sample of 5 Bits, stickers,12 accessories, paper templates, getting started guides, and educational lessons aligned with Common Core and NGSS standards. Use them with customized educational support material on littleBits Classroom to discover the “aha” littleBits moment that everyone raves about.
STEAM at home with The Sphero Mini At-Home Learning Starter Kit. No coding experience necessary. This kit includes a 28-piece construction set, 30 step-by-step, project-based lesson cards, and a parent-friendly guide to help facilitate STREAM learning at home.
