💫In the Creating Apps unit, students use @codeorg's App Lab & the micro:bit to develop programs that use the same hardware inputs & outputs that you see in smart devices🙌. Then they can make their own prototypes with everyday materials.

@MsKellyFHE @microbit_edu @FernHillES @SamZ_ITC @AMelansonWCASD We spotted another Aha! STEAM moment by this girl - we did a quick gif of her victory moment!!✌️🤩

[Katelyn Kelly @MsKellyFHE]

These kiddos have been working so hard on their projects - building using @strawbees and coding using robotics kits and micro:bits! Today we had movement from most groups. The collaboration and perseverance is paying off! @microbit_edu @FernHillES @SamZ_ITC @AMelansonWCASD

[Sam Zang @SamZ_ITC]

👏🥳I can’t wait to see these coders in action!

[Katelyn Kelly @MsKellyFHE]

Coding micro:bits with the help of Mrs. Vanegas! Students collaborated with one another and quickly found ways to code the micro:bit to play “happy birthday”, show their name in LED lights, & even play rock, paper, scissors! @FernHillES @microbit_edu @SamZ_ITC @AMelansonWCASD

Best way to spend a Friday was watching these amazing inventors create and code!!!

[Annie Korb @anniekorb_ITC]

@microbit_edu and @strawbees combined to make a super fun STEM day! This group’s invention to clean up trash in the ocean is coming among! Working to DoOurBit and meet the UN Global Goals!

[Micro:bit Educational Foundation @microbit_edu]

🌎It's @UN's Creativity and Innovation Day so we wanted to take a moment to celebrate all our micro:bit community 👏 who are constantly showing so much creativity and innovation in all they do in #Tech, #STEM & #STEAM 🎉

Leveling up the classic cardboard arcade with @microbit_edu! @PennWood1470

[Sam Zang @SamZ_ITC]

The perfect way to end the day before spring break? Exploring @Micro:bit! This afternoon @dr_twaddle’s room was buzzing with excitement as students discovered the many possibilities at their fingertips. As one kid put it “it just, it just, can do so many things” @EastGoshenElem

[Annie Korb @anniekorb_ITC]

3 day week = 3 days of STEM! We are excited to participate in the @microbit_edu do your :bit challenge. We‘ve been studying the 17 Global Goals. Today we created our very own country and planned ways to achieve each goal. Next up, digging deep then coding our bots & bits! #PBL

[Sam Zang @SamZ_ITC]

These 2nd grade authors in @Dr_GreeneWrites’s room are working on being creative communicators by developing an interactive animal magazine inspired by @RangerRickMags. Today we recorded audio for our readers to listen and learn! @PennWood1470

[Sam Zang @SamZ_ITC]

Love these Phestivities!!! What a cool use of Keynote live video to report from Citizens Bank Park 👀

In Chester County, one fourth grade class was decked out in Phillies gear for MLB Opening Day “Phestivities." https://t.co/4gmduOaLYO

It was a great morning introducing @microbit_edu to 5th graders at @PennWood1470! Excited to jump back in tomorrow!

[Annie Korb @anniekorb_ITC]

@HDEelem hosted our first Invention Convention! So amazed at the creative and empathetic creations the kiddos came up with to JUST HELP someone! These inventors are definitely on their way to “build a better world”! @WestChesterASD @IanKerr_math

[Annie Korb @anniekorb_ITC]

💕STEM! The kiddos enjoyed sharing their projects with our visitors! Love the collaboration, creativity, problem solving, perseverance, and engagement I see in these 5th graders! All of this amazingness is thanks to our WCAEF mini grant! @SamZ_ITC

[Sam Zang @SamZ_ITC]

@mrskorb5th All the kudos to you for creating these experiences for your Ss and opening your classroom for others to observe and learn. Listening to your Ss share their passion and excitement for their projects was so inspiring! Excited to see what they create next!

Can’t wait to create this beautiful toy memory!!! #12DaysofCreativity

[Lindsay Cross @lindsaybcross]

#12DaysofCreativity day 3️⃣! Had fun trying this #pages activity with my cube-mate @mrstrinhvo. We were pretty close in our pictures. Mine is pic 1 & hers is the second. It’s pretty tricky to get your directions precise the first time. Definitely some revising I could do.

[Devon Garritt @DevonGarritt]

Fifth grade used @AppleEDU #Keynote to create animated pop art! They explored different color options, fills and line patterns. Thank you @AppleHungryFool for the inspiration! #AppleEDUchat #AppleLearningCoach

[Stephanie Cullen @MrsCullenFHE]

Our Friday afternoon Cullen Coding Club explored accessibility tools and discussed inclusive design. Next we learned to code in the playground. Great way to end week 2! #WCASDcreates #Everyonecancreate @SamZ_ITC @AMelansonWCASD
