Students are being introduced to lower level computer programming. We are going to start taking small steps into computer programming, academic computer programming vocabulary, and different ways we can code and program. The first step in GATE was to bring out the Sphero robots. Our class was lucky enough that Donors Choose and Sonic's Limeades for Learning helped to purchase a few of these robots for our class. Sphero robots come with several apps that all teach programming in different stages.
Students explored the robots and became familiar with their functions as we roamed around the room, played Sphero-tag, and set them up to jump ramps. We still have a lot to learn, but the kids are definitely already excited about future lessons and working with the robots!
