We have had the opportunity to buy sphero bolt’s
with terrain parks. The spheros are programmable robots with LED
lights. The terrain parks add additional challenges that can be set
in many different ways.
The combination allows students to sequentially learn simple to more
advanced coding. These new items will both engage and challenge our
students to work with robotics and coding.
We are also working on revamping a room in our Junior High section
to be used as a Science - Technology - Engineering - Arts -
Mathematics (STEAM) room. We are hoping for continued grants that
will allow us to fill out the technology and allow more hands-on
experiences.
Additionally, the district has started an after school Coding Club
for all third through eighth graders.
