While I love Edmodo's potential to personalize, digitize, & distribute content material, I don't want to take on much more in this my first year at Deburgos Middle School. Therefore we will not roll it out but focus on building a small but effective LiveS.T.R.E.A.M. after school club. The goal is to document our efforts in FIRST Lego League Robotics and other STEM competitions while working thru the situational challenges presented before going full blast with it next year. The UPENN FLL team has been tremendous in helping get our Blue & Gold teams up and running. They have provided a tremendous amount of resources & support.
