Team Superior and the Robot Oreos finished the Final Quest! They persevered to get the robots to do what they envisioned. They met MANY times during lunch recess, even when the weather was nice. They learned so much and are very proud of their work! #girlssolveit #fordgirlsinstem

Team Superior coded their first list. They are using it to Be a Mind Reader with their robot, Droplet. #GirlsSolveIT #fordgirlsinstem

Superior and Robot Oreos are so proud of their work on Quest 3! We know how to record values from the sensors as variables, create function blocks, use loops, and use conditionals. We hope we get to learn even more on the Final Quest! #girlssolveit #fordgirlsinstem

The Robot Oreos and Superior have finished coding Quest 3! Now there’s time to make a few more decorations. (Getting the if…then statement right was tricky, but writing out test cases sure helped.) #GirlsSolveIT #FordGirlsinSTEM

The Robot Oreos are having fun working with lights, sounds, and sensors. We created a function so Ori can use “echolocation” to avoid obstacles. #GirlsSolveIT #FordGirlsinSTEM

Team Superior ❤️s the storyline for Quest 3! We’re going to make it look like Droplet really is in a storm. #girlssolveit #fordgirlsinstem

😝 Blooper! The pen wasn’t down far enough to draw on the paper. Robot Oreos’ solution? Tape it down! 👍 #girlssolveit #fordgirlsinstem

[Cara Wegrzyn @CaraBellMI]

Quest 2 is complete! We used variables, random numbers, loops, conditional statements, and sensors. The Robot Oreos are proud of their hard work! #girlssolveit #fordgirlsinstem

[Cara Wegrzyn @CaraBellMI]

Superior is SO close to finishing! Our bot symbol looks great. Now we just need to save the people. #girlssolveit #fordgirlsinstem

3 different teams. 3 different ways to write code for the same task. Great work JBots, Superior, and Robot Oreos! #girlssolveit #fordgirlsinstem

[Cara Wegrzyn @CaraBellMI]

The JBots are finished with Quest 1! We’ve learned a lot already! #girlssolveit #fordgirlsinstem

[Cara Wegrzyn @CaraBellMI]
