There are several deciding factors when parents are choosing a school... 🏫 For years it has been things like sporting facilities, pass rates, school ethos, etc. but in recent years, the school's Coding and Robotics programme has been added to the list. This criteria has been rising up the ranks of priorities for parents, who want to know what the STEAM offering at a school is before making a decision. #STEAM #codingandrobotics #technology #schools

🎉 CSEdWeek Workshop Highlights—Watch the Action! Relive the excitement of Computer Science Education Week through our workshops at Talmadge Elementary, Brookings Elementary, and Milton Bradley School in Springfield, MA!

The Scottsbluff Robotics Club has been awarded a $12,722 grant from the Oregon Trail Community Foundation to support its growing program! 🎉 The funds will help the club: - Upgrade meeting spaces with whiteboards and TV monitors for better collaboration. - Purchase additional robot kits and parts, ensuring every team has the tools they need to innovate. - Acquire new computers capable of running First Tech software, enabling more students to gain hands-on coding and design experience. This support is crucial as the program has grown from a single team of 8 youth four years ago to 5 teams with 42 participants and 9 coaches today! Maintaining adequate technology and resources to match this rapid growth has been a challenge, and this grant will ensure the club can continue to thrive. Kudos to Scottsbluff Robotics Club for empowering the next generation of innovators! Read more: https://lnkd.in/eHTSraqR

A BIG shout out to William Renner and the students at Hastings Middle School in Hastings, Michigan. We see you!! Mr. Renner is one of those inspiring teachers who actively finds innovative learning opportunities for his students. This summer his students in the MI-Trades Program learned how to build dog houses, which were later sold and proceeds donated back to the MI-Trades Program for continuing support. This school year, his students learned about AI and robotics the best way possible: by building ABii robots! According to one student: “What I liked about the project was that I made something new that I never thought I was going to do, and I also liked that I learned a lot of things. I learned how some of the parts of the robot work together that will help kids in the future and hopefully expand their options for learning.” The ABiis they built are now at Hastings Elementary School, providing one-on-one help for their students. Way to go Team Hastings! #innovation #leadership #robotics Van Robotics
