Math Scores for New Jersey 4th Grade Students Are Among the Nation’s Best

Whitehall Robotics - Whitehall Elementary teacher Christine Foley is determined to expose children at an early age to hands-on computer science. Often children wait until middle school to delve into technology, but the Monroe Township educator sponsors a technology club after school for her fourth-grade students. The club focuses on engineering and computer programs using the EV3 Lego Robots. She started the club to get girls interested in a male dominated work force and to encourage financial independence.
