🧡💙Delmar Wildcats' 8th & 7th grades are busy saving Earth. 8th created #AppsforGood (I am linking one of their awesome prototypes https://t.co/RUPETSXo70 ) & 7th entered the Shark Tank with their invention & innovation cardboard prototypes. @DelmarSuper @codeorg

Fun day as #DelmarWildcats continue learning about UI/UX and make homemade switches. One of my favorites is this simple pressure switch! @DelmarSuper

[Sandy Coleman @SColemanDE]

Testing paper prototypes of #DelmarWildcats 8th grade's #AppsForGood to make sure the UI works well before starting to design and code them in @codeorg App Lab. @DelmarSuper

Today, 6th grade using claim, evidence, reasoning (C.E.R) and their curosity had lots of fun investigating what made their fortune fishes moved! @DelmarSuper

Proudly displaying & loving #DelmarWildcats 7th graders MicroBit characters! Excellent job of animating their personality traits and bringing their characters' stories to life with code. @MakerEdOrg @DelmarSuper

5th grade's #DelmarWildcats showed that they were problem-solvers instead of problem-performers when they first #savedSam & then helped Harry! @DelmarSuper

After learning about types of bridges, 6th grade practices the steps of the Engineering Design Process by designing and testing "bone bridges" for length & pumpkin capacity. @DelmarSuper

[Sandy Coleman @SColemanDE]

🧡💙 Nothing better then seeing my 7th grade #DelmarWildcats fully engaged as they put their #computationalthinking to the test and tackle some logic problems using @codeorg iterative process of Define, Prepare, Try & most importantly Reflect! Great teamwork too! @DelmarSuper

A few more pictures of my students working on their 4 Cs-Creativity, Collaboration, Critical thinking & Communication as they tackle the #foilboatchallenge @DelmarSuper @dms_ap @Delmar_CIA

[Sandy Coleman @SColemanDE]

🧡💙#delmarwildcats rocked the foil boat challenge! This baked potatoe inspired design was the winning iteration, able to hold 250 pennies. Teamwork & problem-solving 🚤 @DelmarSuper @dms_ap @Delmar_CIA

[Sandy Coleman @SColemanDE]

7th & 8th grade #DelmarWildcats refine their communication. Only one S can touch the puzzle but the S's eyes must be closed! No peeking! Saw some creative means of guiding the leader and great perseverance as Ss worked through frustration to find success! @DelmarSuper

[Sandy Coleman @SColemanDE]

6th grader #delmarwildcats tackle the smiley face challenge & engineer a tool to meet the criteria and overcome the constraints! Practicing the 4 C's! @DelmarSuper @dms_ap

[Sandy Coleman @SColemanDE]

Today, my Ss showed me their interests, goals for the year & what they wanted to learn more about. But first the story of PlayDoh & why "We're all just one small adjustment away from making our lives work" Curious about the story? See it here @DelmarSuper https://t.co/aLToFV3B8G

Great first day with the newest #delmarwildcats. The best part is 5th-grade discovering, it is not magic but STEM! @makeymakey @scratch @DelmarSuper @dms_ap

Last day I get to see these two 8th graders in person, so to celebrate their moving on to 9th grade we pulled out the planks to build contraptions and had a quick tower competition. I am going to miss them. 😥💙🧡💙🧡 @Principal_DMS @dms_ap @DelmarSuper
