This project came about because Dr. Fowler friends' children who were very enamored of Legos and in their school system the enrichment program was not as robust as it could be. After meeting with the fourth grade enrichment teachers at U. S. Jones Elementary School in Demopolis, Dr. Fowler applied for a Service Learning Grant from the [|University of West Alabama] and received $1000 to fund the project. With this money, she purchased six [|WeDo Lego Robotics] kits, three copies of the WeDo Software, and three teacher support manuals. The goal of the project was to encourage the 4th graders to be more interested in STEM activities while giving our UWA pre-service teachers a chance to work with students doing STEM activities in a real-world environment.
