One of my favorite 5th grade students became a teacher this week. She emailed me and asked me to come to her classroom to give her some tips. I’m so proud of her. Beautiful inside and out! #physicalscience@NewtonCoSchools

Elementary students explored activities such as:
• Coding Robots with Dash & Dot

Middle and high school students engaged in more advanced sessions, including:

This year’s conference empowered girls to discover new interests, collaborate with peers, and imagine themselves as the next generation of engineers, programmers, designers, and tech leaders.
We are grateful to our NCS Instructional Technology Department for bringing this powerful learning experience to life once again. 💻✨🚀
