History came alive today at the @awscloud Think Big Space when 2nd graders from Evergreen Mill Elementary worked with @AbbySpessard to create floats for famous Americans. After building their floats, they coded Root Robots to drive them in a small parade.

Civics teachers @LCPS_Mercer , @JML_MS_Official & @HPMS_Official created a hands-on jury selection project for Ss to explore the importance of an impartial jury using the #5Cs, deepening their understanding of the legal system. ⚖️ #CivicsEducation #LCPS @LCPS_CTAE

Day 4 of @CSEdWeek saw HS helpers visiting various schools throughout @LCPSOfficial to help K-8 students learn more about computer science. Ss @CoolSpring_ES had a wonderful time coding @scratch Face Sensing programs with Ss from @RoarPride and special visitor @LoudounSupe.

Hamilton Elementary fifth graders experience Computer Science Week using the micro:bit, a small, programmable computer designed for education. Love to see students engaged in the 5Cs.

Sometimes, the best way to learn is to invite the students to teach the teacher. For our PD time this morning, Ss from @JLSMS_Official came to the Think Big Space to walk the IFCSs through a garden challenge in @PlayCraftLearn to "build" a deeper understanding of the program.

Loudoun Valley High School (@LVHS_official) seniors designed a one-of-a-kind logo art piece and plaque, handcrafted from local wood and resin. With the dedication and expert guidance of their teachers, the students accepted the challenging experience; the result highlights the students’ learning experiences with working through the Career and Technical Education's Technology and Engineering and Materials and Processes classes. The handcrafted logos will hang proudly throughout the Division for years to come, thanks to the Loudoun Valley High School class of 2024!
