by Liana Gillespie
Students will gain knowledge about Arizona's geography, culture, and history through the book "Santa is Coming to Arizona." They will develop basic programming and problem-solving skills by programming Edison robots to navigate through a map of Arizona. Using the engineering design process, students will design a sleigh to carry eight gifts the fastest to locations throughout Arizona.
