Winter STEM: 3rd and 4th grade have a choice board where they can choose which project they will build. They could make a variety of ornaments or options for non-holiday items as well!

Coding club is back in full effect! Today we started using Codesters and they were loving the final part of level one where they get to create their own code 🙌🏼 love seeing what their brains come up with!!

Into week 2 of our tech/coding unit. We’ve been learning our vocabulary and practicing writing algorithms using unplugged Kodable Education activities at Weston!

Students at Weston were also introduced to their first robots today! Students had to lay out their code, click the arrows they see and then watch their robot go! Next time they’ll have a few challenges to complete 🙌🏼

CODING CLUB UPDATE: students in coding club Roosevelt School Manville were the first students to begin playing around with our robots! Our coding club students will be our first group of student tech help to assist their peers when we begin using robots in STEM class 🤖

At Weston today we started creating our own mazes and then coding our mouse robot to get through the maze! Students got to put water (blue) and land(green) anywhere on the grids to get the mouse through their custom map

3rd & 4th graders are being introduced to Makey Makey this week in STEM! We started learning how the circuits work as well as playing some games on scratch! Next time we will learn about the coding aspect behind these games and how they can begin to code their own games

Coding club students began experimenting with our VEX Robotics robot building pieces to just get their creative brains going! Next coding club session we will have a designing challenge!

🌟🌟 Happy Palindrome Week and Twosday! 🌟🌟

Our Kindergarten, First, & Second grade students have all been learning about sequencing commands and intro to block coding (yes even our kinders!) over the next couple weeks students will be completing challenges with all of the robots 🤖

Here’s a sample of our block coding students were introduced to this week in K, 1, & 2 Wonder Workshop

Our 3rd and 4th graders have been introduced to Dash this week, building on the block coding skills we have been working on Wonder Workshop

In coding club we started building a few models of VEX Robotics designs, these students will then be our leaders in STEM classes to help peers 🙌🏼

Another model, from coding club, of our VEX Robotics sets that uses digital controllers (the were very excited about that)

3rd and 4th graders have been exploring how to code their own games using Scratch Team and Makey Makey! The creativity is just constantly growing 🙌🏼

3rd and 4th graders this week were given different materials to create their own maze, then challenged with coding DASH Wonder Workshop to get through the maze while also adding in sound, light, and animation commands!The creativity was AMAZING 🤩 to be continued 🙌🏼

1st and 2nd graders are finishing up our STEM year with designing their own animals. This follows our discussion about animal traits and their importance

Soooooo proud of all these girls

This is truly a huge step, Great job to all the scientists involved in this mission 🙌🏼

A bunch of Roosevelt School Manville 4th grade teachers on vacation 🏝️ Happy Halloween! 🎃
