Recipe for success: A few curious first graders, 10 minutes, a few Cubelets. Only instruction: “This is a battery. Please do not drop the Cubelets.” Yields infinite robots and conversation. @UBEHawks @UBE1Lowd

Who says “Little Kids” can’t follow directions, collaborate, solve problems, and code?! Not us! @UBEHawks @Bickel_Hawks 2nd grade experimenting with @littleBits . This is incredible to watch 🤩 they don’t need my help, they just need the materials.
