This video shows how Helene Miller, technology teacher at Joaquim Miller Elementary in Oakland is using Dash & Dot in an elementary school setting! Here are her tips on getting started, setting up the classroom, and carting around the robot! Students in K-5 learn problem solving, design thinking, and coding. The robots integrate with math, science, and ELA subjects. Visit us at http://makewonder.com/teachers to learn more.
