Programming Poodles by Zach


Me and my design partner are making a poodle that can open its mouth, bark and can wag its tail. It was fun to make and I am excited to present it! I hope everyone likes it. I wish it was a real poodle!

Working Out with LittleBits by Gabby


My design partner and I are making a gym out of Little Bits.  Our most challenging part about our project was the objects in the gym.  It was really hard to make it with all the tape and cardboard. Something that surprised me throughout this project was that it is not easy at all to connect the wires and make the objects. I thought this would just take a day! So far I am proud of  getting this project done with my partner. I am so excited about what this project is going to look like when we are finished.

Gym with Little Bits by Summer


My design partner and I are making a gym! The tool we got paired with is called Little Bits. Little Bits are circuits that you connect to make stuff move and light up! The weights are going to move and the treadmill will brightly light up. So far are gym is coming along pretty good. We are having an amazing time!

Spooky with Scratch by Adin


My design partner and I are making a Scratch digital story. We made a movie about a haunted castle. We made a prince, a princess, and a ghost sprite. We have created two different backgrounds for two scenes. Our story is coming along nicely. 

Welcome to Programming & Robotics!

We are going to have so much FUN! Pick a seat in front of a computer. I try not to assign seats so make sure you are sitting somewhere where you can see the Smartboard and next to someone who won't distract you so that you can focus on the fun. We have a lot of exciting events planned. Here is an overview of what's ahead:

  • iHelp Jobs Overview

  • Technology IceBreaker with https://padlet.com/sbrown/self

  • A Buffet of the Wonderful Tech Tools We Will Be Learning to Program 
    • Lego Robotics
    • Scratch
    • Sphero
    • Kano
    • Hummingbird Robotics
    • LittleBits
    • And more!

  • Building Our Design Teams
I am looking forward to an amazing learning experience with each of you!

It's Showtime by Rachel


Did you know that today we presented our first technology projects that we created with our design teams? Everyone made really neat and great ideas for their projects. There were eight projects to present. Did you know that you can make an awesome racing course for your Sphero out of cardboard boxes and a cool garage with a working bike inside just out of Lego Robotics? After presenting, we learned of our new tech tools that we will be working with next. We can't wait to get started. In the meantime, please watch our amazing presentations, round one:
