With our funding, the media centers were equipped with innovative tools to enhance literacy and technology education. The addition of Bee Bots and Mouse robots provided emerging readers with a hands-on, screen-free way to practice coding skills while engaging in story retelling. By programming the robots to navigate through story elements, students developed critical thinking and problem-solving skills while reinforcing literacy concepts.
The grant also funded 3Dux materials, enabling students to build and create story components for activities like stop-motion animation, character creation, and setting depiction. These tools enriched storytelling and literacy practices, complementing classroom instruction and aligning with content standards across all grade levels.
This project transformed the media centers into interactive learning hubs where students could practice literacy and technology skills in an engaging and meaningful way, fostering lifelong readers and thinkers.
