Students were so excited and engaged to practice using Minecraft before our upcoming ancient civilizations museum PBL experience! Thank you Shawn DeLuca for your expertise! Stacey Anderson #pbl #lcps2425 #piranhapride

During their monthly CS CLTs, K-5 Ts Emerick Elementary worked with Shawn DeLuca to learn how to use block-based coding to program Ozobot to help a leprechaun collect shamrocks and reach a pot of gold. Ts then discussed ways they could integrate OzoBlockly into weekly lessons.

The Science team from Smart's Mill M.S. came to the Amazon Web Services Think Big Space JL Simpson MS to learn about data collection and analysis using PocketLab. Grades 6-8 teachers learned new skills and collaborated on how the resources could be incorporated into their lessons.

Students used Makey Makey to show what they learned about simple machines! #makeymakey #piranhapride Shawn DeLuca Stacey Anderson

K & 2nd grade Ss Horizon Elementary learned about Machine Learning from Shawn DeLuca. K Ss used Google Autodraw to identify living & nonliving things at the park while 2nd grade used Teachable Machine to create a model that identified if an animal migrates or hibernates.

Happy International Data Center Day! Please be sure to check out the resources we have curated for you and your students.

For the 1st time ever, the Amazon Web Services Think Big Space JL Simpson MS hosted a livestream lesson to educate Ss on how data bias impacts AI. 3 different middle schools joined the 45 minute lesson! Special thanks to Angela Fraser, Shawn DeLuca and Kirsten O'Grady for running the event.

What a fun and creative way to combine music, computer science and science into one amazing activity.

History came alive today at the Amazon Web Services Think Big Space when 2nd graders from Evergreen Mill Elementary worked with Abby Spessard to create floats for famous Americans. After building their floats, they coded Root Robots to drive them in a small parade.

K-1 Ts spent the afternoon with Shawn DeLuca & Becca Gratz rocking out to a Metallica themed PD that had them Entering the Coding Sandman & Riding the Lightning to help spark CS integration in LCPS Social Science & Global Studies. From Ozobot to Makey Makey to an air guitar competition, this PD rocked!

During #nationalroboticsweek, Loudoun County Computer Science Office is celebrating innovation in LCPS News robotics classes! JL Simpson MS students designed robots to solve real world problems. WillardLCPS students used line trackers & coded for light variability. #FutureReady

We love seeing our kindergarten students engaged in computer science! Thanks for helping Rooty the Butterfly identify the different phases of its life cycle.

Kindergarteners visited the lab today! They learned how to use Ozoblockly on their Chromebooks to code an Ozobot to correctly identify coins. 🪙 Loudoun County Computer Science Office

We had an amazing time with our first Trashion Show on Friday! Thank you to our guest judges, our brave teacher models, our student creators, staff organizers, and everyone who donated recycled items. It was so fun to see our Comets SHINE with this project. 🤩

Today at the Think Big Space, 2nd graders from Evergreen Mill participated in a livestream lesson that was broadcast to 2 other elementary schools across the county! With the help of Shawn DeLuca, they learned how to use Machine Learning w/ AutoDraw to identify mystery animals.

🌟 Learning Spotlight! 🌟 Our History 6 students are blending the past with the future by using their computer science skills to program Root Robots! 🤖 They’ve recreated the epic journey of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. 🚀📜 #EdTech #STEM #InnovationInEducation #ROARasONE

Today at Waxpool Elem, 5th graders took the role of rover programmers and created codes for their Ozobot to navigate a grid of Mars. Using information from “Mission Command,” Ss had to test their codes and then send them to NASA for verification. All of the 5Cs were on display!

5th graders got to try out the new micro:bits provided by the CS Dept and loved it! Shawn DeLuca helped us code them to play rock, paper, scissors and train an AI model to tell the difference between physical movements using the micro:bit’s accelerometer. Loudoun County Computer Science Office

So much fun today with our Civil War Flag Signaling Lesson! Even the rain didn’t stop us! HPMS_Official LCPS Social Science & Global Studies Loudoun County Computer Science Office
