Robotics education is highly incorporated into upper grade levels because of its connection to careers. But elementary robotics is often one-off projects and fun time. The leadership at Woodland Hills School District in Pennsylvania is ensuring that every kid gets to do a lot more with robotics.

Tina Dietrich is the STEM Coordinator at Woodland Hills School District, where she leads initiatives to integrate hands-on STEM and robotics programs into the K-12 curriculum. Tina is passionate about fostering student engagement through project-based learning and empowering educators with effective STEM resources.

Dr. Eddie Willson serves as Assistant to the Superintendent at Woodland Hills. With a strong background in educational leadership and curriculum development, his role includes overseeing implementation of initiatives that promote student achievement and prepare learners for future STEM careers.

Their district has started initiatives such as robotics every day for students in Elementary school, as well as Mother/Daughter Robotics club, a Robotics lending library, and their Unified Robotics program that partners with Special Olympics.
