How Project Benefits Students

The coding mouse STEM material will increase the kindergarten students critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students will work in collaborative groups and learn to use communication and social skills. Materials will remain in each classroom and be available to future students.  

 

Expected Outcome(s)

Studies show groups of 3 students is the best collaborative group at age 5 and 6. That is why I am asking for 6 mice. Students will also apply their newly learned skills to other STEM activities. Students will grow to enjoy STEM activities and learn how to problem solves.
