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.

Unit 4 - lesson 1: Speed, Direction, and Torque | SPIKE Prime Robotics
Struggling to teach how gears really work? This lesson makes it simple: students learn how gear size and arrangement affect speed, direction, and force, with real-world examples and hands-on discussion questions. Perfect for SPIKE Prime robotics, it’s a quick, visual way to get students thinking like engineers before they even build. 📦 This lesson is part of the SPIKE Prime Unit 4 Bundle. If you're planning to purchase the full unit, you'll get this lesson included — no need to buy it separate

Unit 4 - Lesson 2: Gear Ratios SPIKE Prime Robotics Slides, WS & Answer Key
Teaching gear ratios for SPIKE Prime just got easier. This fully illustrated lesson walks middle and high school robotics students through the gear ratio formula step by step — with worked examples, real-world connections, and built-in discussion questions that build genuine engineering intuition. No confusing math, no student glazed-over stares. 📦 This lesson is part of the SPIKE Prime Unit 4 Bundle. If you're planning to purchase the full unit, you'll get this lesson included — no need to buy

Unit 4 - lesson 7: SPIKE Prime Ferris Wheel Refinement | Lego Robotics
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

Unit 4 - Lesson 6: Ferris Wheel Build, Code & Control — LEGO SPIKE Prime
It's time to build the Ferris wheel — and write the code that brings it to life. In this 13-slide lesson, students construct their SPIKE Prime Ferris wheel, connect a motor, and write their first working motor program — all in one class. From their very first block program to a complete multi-step "full ride," students move through a carefully scaffolded sequence that builds both their build skills and their coding confidence. By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:Build a Ferris wh

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

SPIKE Prime Robotics Unit 5 Lesson 2: Flowcharts
Stop letting students jump straight into coding without a plan. This LEGO SPIKE Prime flowchart lesson teaches students how to organize autonomous robot logic before they build. Students learn how Forever loops, sensor checks, and decision blocks work together inside a clear system structure — reducing confusion, debugging time, and priority mistakes during autonomous challenges. Instead of guessing why their robot is misbehaving, students visually map what happens first, what repeats, and how e

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.
