SEP homeschool students have been learning about collecting data using the PocketLab. This student was “mapping” a bar magnet to see how the magnetic field changed when different parts of the magnet were near the sensor. @ThePocketLab @SEPolkRams

STEAM camp for ALP students this week. They explored coding with MicroBits. For most this was the first time they had used a microcontroller. It was wonderful to see them have success and be so excited about technology. @SCIOWA @microbit_edu @DMschools
Our 3D Design class created aliens from the planet Gloop using shapes such as spheres, cubes, cones and cylinders. First we created them in TinkerCAD and then built them with paper to understand how 2D shapes can be transformed into 3D objects. @SCIOWA @tinkercad

Students from Bondurant used Root Robot to solve problems related to agriculture. This robot collects apples from trees and puts them into the trailer. That’s innovation in cultivation!!! @SCIOWA @BF_District @iRobotEducation
Students from Bondurant turned the Dash robot into a Junkbot that cleans up junk. The extensions were specially designed to reach into corners. @SCIOWA @BF_District @WonderWorkshop
