Comp Sci, Robotics, Engineering & Entrepreneurship

Sidney Rogers ‘35 & Emilio Montoya Herrera ‘35 transformed cardboard linkages into characters from stories they wrote. Sidney said “It was a little hard to figure out how to connect the pieces but I kept trying and it worked.” Emilio agreed and added that he felt proud! #PCiLab

#PCGrade2 engineers joined us in the #PCiLab to build butterfly nets in preparation for tagging monarchs and tracking their migration to Mexico with @monarchwatch! #PCDeeperLearning

What do @PCK engineers do when they’re given a bunch of @Makedo tools in the @PCiLab? Build a cardboard creature, of course! ⚙️ #PCCreativity

#PCGrade2 Panthers joined us in the #PCiLab to engineer and race their very own sail cars ⛵️ #PCDeeperLearning

#PCK engineers were challenged to build the tallest tower they could in the #PCiLab using @KEVAplanks and a little bit of #PCTeamwork!

#PCPreK gardeners joined us in the #PCiLab to plant mammoth sunflowers! Ss will water them in their classrooms and plant them once they sprout! 🌱 #PCNurturing

#PCGrade5 scientists joined us in the #PCiLab to practice the scientific method. Ss crafted foil boats and loaded them with washers to test their hypotheses. We have a new school wide champion at 144 washers! #PCDeeperLearning

#PCGrade3 engineers joined us in the #PCiLab to design and craft a sailboat with limited, pre-selected materials from our “wall of stuff.” ⛵️ #PCProblemSolving

#PCGrade1 paper engineers joined us in the #PCiLab for some 3D rainbow fun! 🌈 #PCDeeperLearning

It’s tug of war time at VEXIQ Robotics camp! #PCsummer #PCRobotics

#PCFaculty joined us in the #PCiLab for a fun day filled with sweet celebrations of the rich tapestry of cultures within our school community! 🌎🍰 #PCPantherPride

#PCGrade4 electricians joined us in the #PCiLab to sew stuffies using @sparkfun LilyPad kits and conductive thread, all while following a schematic from their #PCScience class! #PCDeeperLearning 💡

Scientists in #PCGrade3 have been creating Archimedes Screws in the #PCiLab during their unit on simple machines 🔩 #PCDeeperLearning

#PCK seamsters & seamstresses joined us in the #PCiLab to sew their very own Knuffle Bunnies after an author study on @MoWillems! #PCFutureReady

Coders in #PCGrade1 joined us in the #PCiLab with #PCCompSci to illustrate themselves on spring break, attach the cutout to a tube, code their @Ozobot & travel around the map! #PCDeeperLearning

Tinkerers in #PCPreK joined us in the #PCiLab for a morning full of squigz bridge building! #PCCollaboration

Engineering class for #PCGrade6 Ss required concentration and safety goggles while soldering components for a nightlight in the #PCiLab.

#PCGrade1 electricians joined us in the #PCiLab to make bristle bots using a coin battery & vibrating motor! 👀 Ss even had a battle bot ring face off! #PCDeeperLearning

#PCPreK tinkerers are introduced to the world of circuitry in the #PCiLab with @SquishyCircuits, using conductive play dough and a battery pack to power LED lights! 💡 #PCFutureReady
