Our @GirlsWhoCode Club members learned about algorithms through origami! The girls discovered that you need clear and concise steps in a set order in order to be successful. We’ll apply this knowledge to our computer coding next week! @PortsVASchools @ebracyPPS @jennthomas75
We are thrilled with this accomplishment and know it is only the beginning for @PortsVASchools! #PPSShines

Our Grade 6 students drew pictures on non-polar plates using water droplets (low adhesion) in Mrs. Bonser’s class. Once they shook the plates, molecular cohesion took over; the droplets collided and instantly snapped together into one pool! 🔬#PPSShines #cpisthoroughbreds
