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

SPIKE Prime Robotics Unit 4: Gears, Speed & Mechanical Design (Weeks 7-9)
Everything you need to teach a complete unit on gears, mechanical design, and motor programming with LEGO SPIKE Prime. Unit 4 takes students from the basics of how gears work all the way through building, programming, and refining a Ferris Wheel — culminating in a Capstone showcase. The unit builds deliberately: physical intuition first, then calculation, then design decisions, then code, then refinement. By the end, students can explain why their robot is built the way it is — not just make it

Autonomous Robotics Engineering Project | LEGO SPIKE Prime & STEM
Move your robotics students beyond simple coding and into real engineering thinking with this structured Autonomous Planning Lab. In this hands-on capstone project, students must plan, build, test, and improve an autonomous robot using defined roles and systems-based thinking. Before touching LEGO or writing code, students complete both a logic flowchart and a mechanical design plan that must be approved. This is not a “build and hope” activity — students must plan first.

Two weeks of line following starts here — and this lesson makes sure students actually understand what's happening before they write a single block. Students use a helper program to read real reflected light values from their robot, discover where the threshold between "on the line" and "off the line" lives, and learn why robot placement matters before the program even starts.

Your students built a Ferris Wheel in Lesson 6. Now they make it good. In Lesson 7, teams run a structured test protocol, identify what's actually wrong, and log documented improvements before Capstone Day. The shift from "does it run?" to "does it run well?" is where the real engineering thinking happens. By the end of this lesson, students will:Run a test protocol — observe first, fix secondLog 3+ specific improvements to their build or codeUse variables to adjust their program from one placeU

SPIKE Prime Robotics Unit 5 Lesson 8: Autonomous Vehicle Lab
This is where it all comes together. In this two-day partner challenge, students take on differentiated roles as Coder and Builder to design and build a fully autonomous SPIKE Prime robot — but there's a catch: no one touches LEGO or opens the SPIKE app until both planning sheets are teacher-approved. On Day 1, the Coder maps out the full logic structure — flowchart, decision priority, and Forever loop — while the Builder designs the physical system, from base design and hub placement to sensor

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.
My own education history
I hold a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies and bring a strong, well-rounded foundation to every resource I create. My broad certification background has allowed me to teach and design curriculum across multiple grade levels and subjects. My certifications include:
Technology Applications (EC–12)
Generalist (4–8)
Mathematics (4–8)
Generalist (EC–4)
Technology Education (6–12)
English as a Second Language Supplemental (EC–12)
In addition to my teaching certifications, I am also PLTW (Project Lead The Way) certified in multiple pathways, including:
Design and Modeling
Green Architecture
Automation and Robotics
Medical Detectives
Computer Science for Innovators and Makers
Introduction to Engineering Design
Principles of Engineering
Engineering Design and Development
This diverse training and hands-on experience shape the way I create resources—intentional, practical, cross-curricular, and designed to support students at all levels.
