Here's a sneak peek at a new Climate Action Kit project in development!

This is a turtle-safe beach light that's programmed to light up at night time. These students were testing different LED colours but learned about how red light is ideal for keeping turtles safe! 🐢

Lots of Autonomous Electric Vehicle building and testing at our Climate Action Kit workshop last week at District School Board of Niagara!

These students built prototype EVs that could drive and avoid obstacles using Sonar Sensors and coded using Micro:bit Educational Foundation 🤖🌎🚙

The feeling of coding success >> 🤖

At our Climate Action Kit workshop this week we asked these gr 4s to customize their wind turbine by adding blades.

Here’s what they came up with!

Waterloo Catholic DSB

We had an amazing Climate Action Kit workshop at Waterloo Catholic DSB today!

These grade 3 & 4 students impressed us with their coding and problem-solving skills as they built & coded their own prototype Wind Turbines! 💨🌎🤖

Here are some highlights from our Climate Action Kit workshop at Palmerston Public School today! 🌱🌎

These students built & coded simulated electric vehicles capable of driving and avoiding obstacles. 🤖🚙

Upper Grand DSB Micro:bit Educational Foundation

🍎 Shout-out to the incredible educators shaping our future! Join us in celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week with #ForwardEducation 🌟 #ThankATeacher 📚✨ #TeacherAppreciationWeek

Between the hardware in the Climate Action Kit and the power of the Micro:bit Educational Foundation, the possibilities for coding and robotics in the classroom is endless! 🤖🌎🌱

Today we were on-site at Skills Ontario to run a workshop with the Forward Education Climate Action Kits!

Check out some of the awesome Tree Seeders these students made 🌳🌱

#microbit #climateaction

Excited to introduce Forward Education #climateaction kits, resources, and #onted #curriculum connections at St. Mark CDSBEO! #STEM #CDSBEOProtecting #CDSBEOLearning #CDSBEONurturing

⏰The wait is almost over! ☀️BOOST '24 is finally here! Our bags are packed and we're ready to go! ✈️So excited to connect with the AMAZING and dedicated OST & ELOP educators in CA! Keep your eyes peeled for us! We'll be giving away Smart Wind Turbine Kits! #boostconference

Our team is headed to BOOST Collaborative in Palm Springs, California next week! ☀️

If you're attending #boostconference , let us know! Our team would love to meet with you. 👋

DYK that every Climate Action Kit project comes with a step-by-step coding tutorial in Microsoft MakeCode?

This means that students can follow along at their own pace & don't always have to rely on the educator to be the expert!

Here's a BTS look at some filming we're doing of our Climate Action Kit projects 🌎

This is our Smart Farming with Automated Watering project. Students program the Moisture Sensor to measure the soil, and if it's dry, run the Water Pump to water the plant! 🌱🤖 #microbit

The wind turbine was more challenging code but I had a few groups get it done before class was over Forward Education Micro:bit Educational Foundation CodeJoy #microbit #microbit Champions #climateaction #stem #STEMinPA #edtech #teachers #students

Here's another awesome project from Mr. Hong's Class!

This vehicle project is using the sonar sensor in the Climate Action Kit 🌎 to drive and avoid obstacles. 🤖🚙
