Wonder Workshop

Wonder Workshop

Home, IMPACT Grant, NOIMPACT
On a daily basis we ask students to work together to complete tasks using paper and pencils. As we move further into 21st Century Learning, the way students interact, communicate, and problem solve become more and more complex. It is also more challenging to engage students in the learning as they become more driven by technology. Wonder Workshop robots are a fun and interactive way for students to learn how to code, work together, and problem solve using 21st Century technology and skills. Needs: Students will learn how to code the robot and develop their coding skills so that they can launch a ball, play the xylophone, and sketch a picture using Dash. To achieve these goals, students will use iPads to control the robot by learn the different coding…
