Do you like robots?  Do you want to learn how to code?  Come join our Robotics Club!  Students will get introduced to different robots while learning how to program online. Teacher will monitor and help students with planning and solving online coding puzzles.  

**Please note some students may need parent support in the beginning, especially if new to coding.**  

Teacher will introduce a new robot every week and explain how it works.  Students are NOT required to have robots, but it is beneficial if they do so they can practice at home.  Here are a few of my favorite robots for coding: Sphero Mini, Blue Bot, Mouse Robot and Botley.  Optional: students can also build robots at home using what they have available: (i.e LEGO, DUPLO, Bristle Blocks, recycle boxes, Gears, etc).

Texas Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education

***I will be taking some personal time off starting August 2024***

Hello! My name is Cynthia Burleigh. I live in Texas. I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Bachelor in Science in Information Systems. I started my career in a banking institute, but quickly realized I wanted to become a teacher. I have been working in education for 15 years, 3 years teaching with Outschool. I am Bilingual Certified - speak English and Spanish and teach Bilingual and ESL students. My teaching experience includes: Robotics, Codings, Spanish, Pre K - 3rd grade Bilingual instruction, Bilingual Reading Specialist, and STEM teacher. 

I love to teach Reading, Math, Spanish, Technology and STEM (including robotics). I love spending time with family, teaching, and running. A little fun fact about me...I run marathons for fun! I can't wait to see you in class.
