About the store
Welcome to my TPT store!
I’m a longtime robotics teacher with almost two decade of hands-on experience in the classroom. Over the years, I found myself creating nearly all of my own lessons, activities, worksheets, and assessments—simply because quality robotics resources were hard to find. I know firsthand how much time, energy, and heart teachers pour into their students every day.
That’s why I started this store: to give back to hardworking educators by sharing the materials I’ve crafted, tested, and refined with real students. My resources are designed to be clear, engaging, classroom-ready, and aligned with the real challenges teachers face when introducing robotics, engineering, and coding concepts.
Whether you’re brand new to robotics or have been teaching it for years, I hope these lessons make your planning easier and your students’ learning even more exciting.

Spike Prime: Read the Code Series - Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Bundle
The Read the Code series is designed to save teachers time by teaching students to explain robot behavior before running code. Across Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, students learn to read SPIKE Prime programs, predict behavior, test their predictions, and answer thought-provoking questions that surface the most common robotics misconceptions—so teachers do not have to repeatedly explain them. This is not trial-and-error robotics. It is reasoning, debugging, and understanding—bu

Unit 3 -Spike Prime: Read the Code – (Advanced) WS 2: Sensor Priority & Override
Students don’t understand why some sensors seem to “do nothing.”This worksheet explains that problem clearly. Students examine programs where multiple sensors are checked, but some conditions never meaningfully trigger. They predict behavior, test their predictions, and explain how sensor priority and logic masking affect outcomes. The worksheet leads students to discover that the issue isn’t the sensor — it’s the code structure. This worksheet saves you time because: students stop blaming har

Unit 3 - Spike Prime: Read the Code – (Advanced) WS 5: Predict, Fix, Improve
This worksheet turns analysis into intentional improvement — not guesswork.Students compare two versions of code, predict behavior, test both versions, and justify which design is better and why. Only after reasoning do students improve the code themselves. This worksheet brings everything together: prediction, evidence, design thinking, and debugging. This worksheet saves you time because: fixes are justified, not random students explain why changes matter code improvements become thoughtful,

Unit 3 - Spike Prime: Read the Code (Advanced) – WS 4: Partial Infinite Loops
Students can’t tell the difference between “running” and “responsive.”This worksheet makes that distinction unmistakable. Students examine programs with infinite loops that appear active but trap the robot in limited behavior. They predict long-term behavior, test their predictions, and explain why the robot becomes stuck even though the code is still running. The questions surface logical dead ends that students often miss. This worksheet saves you time because: students stop assuming loops au

Unit 3 - Spike Prime: Read the Code – (Advanced) WS 3: Inefficient Logic
The robot works — but the code is bad.This worksheet teaches students to recognize that difference. Students analyze programs that technically behave correctly but include redundant checks, unnecessary blocks, and inefficient structure. They predict behavior, test it, and explain why the code works — and why it’s still poorly designed. This is where students start thinking like real programmers, not just robot operators. This worksheet saves you time because: students stop equating “it works”

Unit 3 - Spike Prime: Read the Code – (Advanced) WS 1: Competing Conditions
Your students think multiple “if” statements all matter equally.This worksheet shows them why that’s not true — without you having to lecture. Students analyze code with competing conditions inside a loop. They predict what the robot will do, test their predictions, and explain which condition actually wins and why. Carefully written questions guide students to notice order-of-operations issues that cause unexpected behavior. This worksheet saves you time because: students stop assuming “all c

Unit 2 - SPIKE Prime: Read the Code (Inter) - WS# 3 Repeat Actions
Students use repeat blocks — but don’t always understand them.This worksheet clears that up before it becomes a problem. Students read code that uses repeat and repeat-forever blocks to control movement. They predict distance and stopping behavior, test their predictions, and explain how repeated actions affect movement, all without adding sensor complexity. Questions are designed to surface and correct common misunderstandings about loops — especially “repeat forever.” This worksheet saves yo

Unit 2 - SPIKE Prime: Read the Code (Inter) - WS# 5 Infinite Loops and Logic
Just because code runs forever doesn’t mean it’s doing anything useful.This worksheet teaches that lesson clearly and early. Students examine programs with infinite loops — including one where a sensor is checked repeatedly but behavior never changes. They predict long-term behavior, test their predictions, and explain why some loops are ineffective. The questions are designed to build a debugging mindset before students reach Advanced robotics. This worksheet saves you time because: ineffecti

Unit 2 - SPIKE Prime: Read the Code (Inter) - WS# 4 Two Outcomes Inside a Loop
Your students don’t understand why the robot won’t change behavior.This worksheet makes that visible without you re-explaining it. Students analyze if/else logic placed inside and outside of a loop. They predict behavior, test their predictions, and explain why repeated decisions allow robots to respond — while single decisions do not. Carefully structured questions help students articulate why robots sometimes feel “stuck,” even when the code looks correct. This worksheet saves you time becau

Unit 2 -SPIKE Prime: Read the Code (Inter) - WS #2: Repeat Sensor Checks W/ Loop
Your robots work sometimes — and students don’t know why.This worksheet fixes that confusion for you. Students analyze two programs that use the same color sensor but behave very differently. By reading the code first, students predict what will happen, test their predictions, and explain why repeated sensor checks inside a loop lead to more reliable behavior. Thought-provoking questions guide students to discover that inconsistent behavior is usually caused by program structure, not broken s

Unit 2 - SPIKE Prime: Read the Code (Inter) - WS# 1 Sensor Timing & Conditionals
Your students keep saying, “The robot should have stopped.”This worksheet fixes that problem for you. Sensor Timing & Conditional Actions walks students through one of the most common — and time-consuming — robotics misconceptions: believing sensors react instantly. Instead of trial-and-error or repeated teacher explanations, students read the code, predict what will happen, test their predictions, and explain the results. Thought-provoking questions guide students to uncover when sensors are

Teaching style
I believe that all children can learn when we take the time to understand what’s holding them back and help them see the “why” behind each step. Too often, we’re rushed and end up teaching shortcuts rather than building true understanding. My approach focuses on slowing down, identifying learning obstacles, and guiding students through the reasoning that makes concepts stick. When students grasp the purpose behind what they’re doing, their confidence—and their learning—skyrockets.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Some of my proudest accomplishments come from the curriculum I’ve created over the years. Whether I was teaching math intervention, launching a brand-new engineering course, or implementing computer science for the first time on my campus, I thrived on developing everything my students needed to succeed. From supplemental lessons and worksheets to hands-on activities, quizzes, and full unit tests—I built complete, classroom-ready materials from the ground up.
Seeing students grow in confidence because of resources I created has been one of my greatest joys as an educator. Those moments of “I get it!” are the true rewards that continue to inspire the work I share here.
