Fire prevention week @WASDSpotlight K/1! We read a non-fiction book about firefighters and then made a simple STEM project of firefighters using a fire pole! Why is sliding down a pole faster than walking down stairs?

Can you write code to help the LEGO guy find fiction and nonfiction books in the library? ⁦@WASDSpotlight⁩ #CSinPA #csunplugged

Kicked off @RoboWeek with a great group of kindergarteners @BlossburgElem with @AmyNybeck! We learned the word "orbit" and used @codewithroot to model how the Earth orbits the sun! @SouthernTiogaSD #LrnrDrvn #CSinPA #CSforAllPA

Got the bots out this week in a 6th grade math class @WLM_Elem! Such a perfect application of coordinate grid geometry! Thanks @codewithroot for a well designed activity that even worked for our remote learners too! @SouthernTiogaSD #LrnrDrvn #CSinPA

[Rachel Smith @MsEngineerSmith]

Remote Robotics?! Heck yes! Used the remote control feature in @zoom_us to allow a student to control my screen and code the @codewithroot . Distance learning with physical devices is possible! @SouthernTiogaSD

Remote coding with @codewithroot ! I love the online simulator and I love that I have a 7th grade student working in text based coding! @SouthernTiogaSD
