Miss Conover

A bunch of @RooseveltColts 4th grade teachers on vacation 🏝️ Happy Halloween! 🎃

This is truly a huge step, Great job to all the scientists involved in this mission 🙌🏼

Soooooo proud of all these girls

1st and 2nd graders are finishing up our STEM year with designing their own animals. This follows our discussion about animal traits and their importance

@EDtheScienceGuy @WonderWorkshop Thanks, but we have a bunch of other robots as well like vex robotics! Appreciate the offer

@miss_conover @WonderWorkshop I have a #cue if you would like to borrow it, the AI allows it to travel around the house without hitting objects or walls…not sure if it will work with low height popsicle sticks…could always try @miss_conover @WonderWorkshop #ai #stem

3rd and 4th graders this week were given different materials to create their own maze, then challenged with coding DASH @WonderWorkshop to get through the maze while also adding in sound, light, and animation commands!The creativity was AMAZING 🤩 to be continued 🙌🏼

@WhyMaker @scratch @makeymakey The amount of things you can do with makey makey is just amazing!!!

@miss_conover @scratch @makeymakey We love Makey Makey!

3rd and 4th graders have been exploring how to code their own games using @scratch and @makeymakey! The creativity is just constantly growing 🙌🏼

@kdcnett @VEXRobotics Vex has an entire website with all the resources, I printed the directions for my students to follow the build directions! They also have a variety of levels, like vex 123 is great for the littles and these robots are vex GO which I use for my 3rd and 4th graders

Another model, from coding club, of our @VEXRobotics sets that uses digital controllers (the were very excited about that)

In coding club we started building a few models of @VEXRobotics designs, these students will then be our leaders in STEM classes to help peers 🙌🏼

Our 3rd and 4th graders have been introduced to Dash this week, building on the block coding skills we have been working on @WonderWorkshop

Here’s a sample of our block coding students were introduced to this week in K, 1, & 2 @WonderWorkshop

Our Kindergarten, First, & Second grade students have all been learning about sequencing commands and intro to block coding (yes even our kinders!) over the next couple weeks students will be completing challenges with all of the robots 🤖

🌟🌟 Happy Palindrome Week and Twosday! 🌟🌟

@FumiHoshino @makeymakey YAYY!!! I always feel that letting students at this level just explore with minimal guidance as the introduction helps with engagement, and then we dive deeper! Next class we’re going to explore the code in scratch and then learn how to make their own game!

@miss_conover @makeymakey I've been struggling on planning how I can introduce @makeymakey and Scratch to the 3rd &4th graders...😍Thank you so much for sharing! 🤩Great ideas just popped up!

3rd & 4th graders are being introduced to @makeymakey this week in STEM! We started learning how the circuits work as well as playing some games on scratch! Next time we will learn about the coding aspect behind these games and how they can begin to code their own games

Coding club students began experimenting with our @VEXRobotics robot building pieces to just get their creative brains going! Next coding club session we will have a designing challenge!

At Weston today we started creating our own mazes and then coding our mouse robot to get through the maze! Students got to put water (blue) and land(green) anywhere on the grids to get the mouse through their custom map

CODING CLUB UPDATE: students in coding club @RooseveltColts were the first students to begin playing around with our robots! Our coding club students will be our first group of student tech help to assist their peers when we begin using robots in STEM class 🤖
