Research Project

November 12, 2018December 10, 2018 Eric L. Epps

Programming/Robotics EdShelf

October 13, 2018November 25, 2018 Eric L. Epps

Most of my direct teaching with kids has been either working with robotics clubs or teaching some programming concepts to kids (like a video game summer camp I taught last summer), so as I was exploring EdShelf, I focused on looking for resources that would help in those kinds of contexts.
