Exploring Geometry

This week's focus has been on geometry and looking at angles and their measurements.  Today we took math outside since it was such a beautiful day and teams worked together to measure and notice different attributes to shapes!

Badge Day-Google CS First: Storytelling

Badge day is one of the students' favorite days to code!  They compete to try and complete six coding tasks to earn badges.  Some of the challenges were:
-Have a character escape the scene by sliding
-Have a new character enter the scene
-End the story with animation and a closing
-Have a fading transition
-Have two characters talk to one another
-Have a new character save the day in the story
As always, we had tons of fun!
