What is TAP?
TAP, our Teacher Ambassador Program, was composed of educators who love teaching robotics and STEM. They are innovative and advocate for hands-on experiences for their students. While we enjoyed working with these educators over the last several years, we will not be continuing with TAP for the 2023-2024 school year.
The below lessons were created by our Teacher Ambassadors for classroom use.
