Exciting STEM Activities
An exciting evening with BLHS BIT and BLMS BIT students mentoring our younger students on coding. Alex Bailey and Tristan Krouse, some of most experienced coders taught parents and students about Code.org and how students are learning this in computer time. Alex did an excellent job of teaching our parents how to code. We had some parents who are coders and talked about their careers in coding and also helped some of less experienced parents in the coding sessions.
Our students learned from our high school and middle school mentors, who had spent hours learning how to create circuits using our Little Bit Kits as well as our Snap Circuits. Kids created circuit cars and raced them with Colton Gibson. Students and parents learned about wind energy and current with our snap circuits and created an array of inventions.
Also, our Middle School students had learned how to create programs and mentored the students and parents in creating a blockly code to drive Dash through an obstacle course.
It was an exciting evening and parents and students were excited with all their new knowledge of science, technology, math and engineering through all of our activities. Many parents were interested in where and how to purchase many of the items, so students could continue to learn at home.
