Ms. Ridout’s LEAP students wrote alternative endings to The Little Prince and used pseudocode, the engineering design process and a lot of perseverance to bring their stories to life, digitally, in Scratch! The stories are looking amazing! @CalvinPark_LDSB@LimestoneDSB
It was a busy week in Mr. Valberg’s Grade 8 @CalvinPark_LDSB! The students applied the engineering design process and were tasked with creating the most innovative Rube Goldberg Machine using Tinkercad. Can’t wait to see the final challenge today! @LimestoneDSB
Mrs. Overvelde and Ms. Akey’s classes @BayridgePS_LDSB used the engineering design process in Tinkercad to create a marble run and a Rube Goldberg machine. Design, testing and iterating were the name of the game! @LimestoneDSB
last week @MollyBrant_LDSB grade 7/8 students did an amazing job looking at different kidpreneurs, creating elevator pitches and used the engineering design process to create their own apps in App Inventor! Maybe you’ll be using one of these apps someday?! @LimestoneDSB
@RGSinclairPS Grade 7/8 students did an awesome job applying the engineering design process to designing and creating their own apps using MIT App Inventor! @LimestoneDSB#stem
Grade 7 @ModuleAcadie students are developing their understanding of 3D design using Tinkercad and the career paths associated with these skills. @LimestoneDSB@JessSilverLDSB
LEAP students are continuing to do an amazing job iterating their gargoyle tails. Lots of thinking, collaborating and math today! @CalvinPark_LDSB@LimestoneDSB
Day 2 @CalvinPark_LDSB in the LEAP program was even better than yesterday. Students really dug into the engineering design process to build prototypes tails. Lots of problem solving, collaboration and iteration. We are on the brink of functional tails! #stem@LimestoneDSB
We had a great first day with grade 7 LEAP @CalvinPark_LDSB. Students are using microbits and servo motors to build tails for their paper mache gargoyles. Today we worked on coding, tomorrow we will start building prototypes. @LimestoneDSB
Students at @MollyBrant_LDSB used micro:bits to code a compass and then used it in a scavenger hunt to find a prize. Loved spending my day with @wilsonch_ldsb and Keith Alcock’s classes! @LimestoneDSB
Thanks for an awesome week of STEM @BathPS_LDSB! Lots of positive attitudes, perseverance and learning in @MrNickel_LDSB and @Sparrow_LDSB’s classes! We dug deep into Micro:bits across many subjects and used pseudocode before we coded our programs. @LimestoneDSB
Students assessed their comfort level with coding at the beginning of the week and again at the end of the week! Lots of improvement ! Way to go @msakeysclass ! #stem@LimestoneDSB@BayridgePS_LDSB
Thanks for a great few days @LasalleInter! Students used the engineering design process and their problem solving skills to create a wearable device using Micro:bits and used Scratch to make a maze game.
What better way to celebrate skilled trades week then visit @LimestoneDSB Expanded Opportunities Showcase on Thursday, November 9 from 6 to 8pm @CataraquiCentre. Come learn about all of the opportunities available to Grade 11 & 12 students. #oyap#shsm#dualcredit
A reminder to soccer players to bring a Centennial shirt tomorrow, if you have one. Also remember lots of water and snacks for the day! Go Comets!
