This week was fun! We split the group in half and had activities in two different areas of the school. In Mrs. Allen's classroom, we experienced the Dance Party Challenge where students were able to learn about and realize the benefit of clear, concise, short codes. Using the Blockly App and their robots they made a dance routine to fun music. There was even a disco ball involved! Kids started jamming and dancing right along with their robotic friends! It was awesome! In the gym we opened our brand new launchers that Mrs. G ordered from Wonder Workshop. We figured out how to attach the launcher to Dash's body and practiced launching the included ping pong balls all over the room. We discovered that you can make launches using the Wonder App or the Blockly App. The challenge was to see how to launch the farthest. Then we had a contest to see who's launching skills surpassed everyone else's. It was a blast!
