For Teachers
The Robotics Initiative is designed to support K–12 educators in bringing robotics and computer science into their classrooms in ways that feel approachable, practical, and meaningful for students.
Whether you are just getting started or looking to expand what you already do, I aim to provide resources and support that meet you where you are.
What You Can Expect
Classroom-Ready Resources
I create and share lesson ideas, activities, and materials that help connect robotics to computer science concepts and STEM learning in ways that fit real classroom environments.
Support for Getting Started
If robotics feels unfamiliar or overwhelming, I can help you identify entry points that align with your classroom goals, standards, and available resources.
Connections to Broader Learning
Robotics can support problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and persistence. I work to make those connections clear and actionable for classroom use.
Opportunities to Engage Students
Through outreach and hands-on experiences, I help create opportunities for students to interact with robotics in ways that spark curiosity and build confidence.
Where Robotics Fits
Robotics is more than just building or coding—it is a way to explore core ideas in computer science and STEM through hands-on learning.
In the classroom, robotics can support:
- problem-solving and computational thinking
- collaboration and teamwork
- data collection and analysis
- connections to real-world applications
Support That Works for You
Every classroom is different. I focus on providing support that is flexible and adaptable, whether that means:
- integrating a single lesson or activity
- building toward a larger robotics experience
- connecting robotics to an existing course (such as Indiana’s Computing Foundations course)
Let’s Connect
If you are interested in bringing robotics into your classroom or expanding what you already do, I would be happy to connect and support your work.
