STEM & Future Coders
Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Bell, and Mrs. Hickinbotham worked on computer science STEM projects that focused on a Christmas theme with Scratch. Through individual growth exploration, students discovered motion, looks, sound, control, and event functions for sprites and backgrounds. We even had some of our 1st graders show interest in the data and operators functions, where they developed math problem modules and watched the calculated answer populate in a result list! Awesome work kids! #ACScoders
