Mentored students on the LEGO Robotics team for Haut Gap Middle School

• Worked with the students interested in drainage and flooding.
• Interfaced with the Director of Public Works on James Island so that my students could collect data, investigate and see, first hand what challenges a choke point presented.
• Interviewed the Mayor of James Island as to present day solutions and came up with ideas as to new potential approaches to the problem.
• Research arm of the LEGO Robotics team had discussions with the Principal and Vice Principal of Haut Gap early on in the brain storming phase to narrow down their area of focus for the LEGO project.
• Students were taught how to research using various methodologies including newspaper articles, televised broadcasts, interviewing one on one subject matter experts and lastly articles on the web.

• Many of the students in my program were not meeting expectations. It was necessary to introduce better study habits and strengthen their basic mathematical concepts/skills. The process has enabled students to improve their confidence and as a result improve their attitudes towards learning math. Once that was achieved, they are showing improved study habits, improved math skills, and are now performing at or exceeding expectations.
• They are more confident and better equipped to take on more complex math problems.
• They are excited to see their grades increase.
• Hands on learning children work on white boards and show each other their work. If they can show their peer then they have mastered the concept. Have provided them with middle school math reference books so that they can review and practice additional problems.
• Planning real world examples of business cases so that all can easily see why math, reading and problem solving are crucial for future careers.
