WeDo Love to Tinker

Inspired by Daedalus and the idea of tinkering, and by Talos, possibly the first robot ever imagined way back in Greek Mythology - 3rd graders experimented with our Lego WeDo robotics kits. With some creativity, sensors, and programming, it was a very busy day! Check out some footage of our day in the video below.

Passion Project Progresses!

5th graders are hard at work on their final GT project! They were to design their own project. They must LEARN something, CREATE/DO something, and SHARE something. All projects are off to a great start! We have fundraisers for a cause, rollercoasters, novels, screenplays with costumes and props, science experiments, actual blacksmithing, and even animated animal battles! With 20 separate projects happening in class the class is alive with energy! It is fun to see how driven and focused the students are as they work on their self-designed projects! Presentations will be May 2. I can't wait to see the amazing things these creative kids do!
