Kinder students showing conceptual knowladge of butterfly life cycles by creating their own three-dimensional diagrams. #ngss #STEM NAIS #science #lifecycles #inquirybasedlearning #PBL

Ss creating #empathymaps for their environmental justice projects. Ss learn about #environmentalracism and marginalized communities who are affected by pollution. Ss design solutions using Micro:bit Educational Foundation littleBits Tinkercad. #designthinking #scrumboard Westerly School of Long Beach

6th grade Ss ideating using Google for Education #jamboard for their environmental justice projects. Ss brainstorm in teams + synthesize those ideas to make them feasible when integrating Micro:bit Educational Foundation Tinkercad and littleBits. #designthinking #ideation #collaboration Westerly School of Long Beach

6th graders designed a toll system for harbors, which would help mitigate overfishing. Created by #programming a Micro:bit Educational Foundation in Microsoft MakeCode - using radio wave signals and receivers. Boats and tollbooth built in Tinkercad and 3D printed with Flashforge®.

Kinder Ss use Makedo tools to construct cardboard racers. Glued straws to the base, added dowels with wooden wheels and tested their models on a ramp. Ss were encouraged to cheer on each other's racer. #stem #engineering #makerspace Westerly School of Long Beach #Kindergarten

1st grade Ss learn about the negative effects of plastic pollution and the benefits of recycling in this Ozobot lesson. #coding #stem #designthinking #recycling #EarthDay Westerly School of Long Beach

1st graders were stoked with their fairy doors. Big shoutout to Jonathan Brusco for the idea and guidance. They tied in perfectly with the annual fairy tale unit. I love it when CUE conference inspirations come to fruition! CUE Los Angeles #makerspace #fairydoors Westerly School of Long Beach

5th grade completed their mini lightsaber designs using Tinkercad. A fun lesson for teaching Ss how to create negative space & "drill" holes in their design. Ss must measure & convert cm to mm precisely in order for the glow stick to fit properly.Westerly School of Long Beach THX Jonathan Brusco

Ss using Tinkercad codeblocks to program braille name placards. Great lesson that includes math (coordinate plane) and #DEIJB standards. #coding #CAD #3dprinting Westerly School of Long Beach Flashforge®

Ss combine LEGO with Wonder Workshop robots in a #coding challenge that fuses #engineering and #programming . Robots travel through an astroid belt to collect the "Luminara Crystal" and save the human race!

Adapted Common Sense Education's 4th grade lesson on online gaming and chatting to include the digital creation of a video game cover that includes positive chat feature rules. Ss utilize #googledrawings, learning drag and drop, augmenting, & arranging. #digitalcitizenship #OnlineSafety

Ss learn to use variables and conditional statements by writing a program to make Evo count the amount of goals scored. If statements are based on the color of goals and boundaries. Ss must use sensor codes to avoid collisions. #coding #variables Ozobot Westerly School of Long Beach

Solar powered 3-wheelers! Ss used #binary to program Micro:bit Educational Foundation and littleBits DC motors to run when light sensors detect enough sunlight. Ss built their cars with LEGO and used Tinkercad to build the wheels to fit on motor pegs. #engineering #coding Westerly School of Long Beach

Ss learn about #events programming pins and buttons to play notes. Ss learn about circuitry and positive and negative currents.#coding #engineering #circuitry Micro:bit Educational Foundation Microsoft MakeCode Westerly School of Long Beach

Crosstown traffic! 2nd graders #program Dash to detect other robots and avoid crashes on its daily commute. Ss learn about writing conditional statements and the functionality of motion sensors. Wonder Workshop Westerly School of Long Beach #coding #computerscience #STEM

If you're not first, you're last! Ss #program Ozobot Evo to zoom across the track. #coding Westerly School of Long Beach

Ss learn about #environmentaljustice, researching about communities that have been impacted by environmental racism and creating technological solutions using Micro:bit Educational Foundation Tinkercad littleBits & #3Dprinting to build prototypes. #designthinking #programming #coding #CAD
