I teach Advanced Robotics at Luis P. Untalan Middle School in Barrigada, Guam.
My students learn to build robotic objects, machines, and vehicles using LEGO Spike Prime kits. They program their creations using the latest Spike Prime software, which is block-based coding. They learn the value of problem solving through trial and error and cooperative learning. Many of their projects require them to provide evidence of their learning by writing reflections, taking photos and videos, creating digital presentations, and editing videos.

LPUMS Intermediate & Advanced Robotics Pilot Evaluation
LPUMS Intermediate & Advanced Robotics Pilot Evaluation
I have been teaching robotics in my Gifted and Talented Education classes since SY 2011-2012. In SY 2019-2020, I began the official process to pilot middle school robotics at two levels: Intermediate and Advanced. Joined by fellow Robotics teacher Rozalyn Pama, we successfully piloted, implemented, and evaluated our program in SY2021-2022.

The Guam Department of Education provided many STEM training, such as learning to fly and teach with drones.
We also received LEGO Spike Prime training with Robotics teacher Roz Pama and Math teacher Bernadeth Gumataotao
GDOE also provided Underwater Robotics training, which I took with Science teacher Vincent Aguon
