Great discussions & questions about A.I. this week in my 4th-6th grade classes, as we practice prompting to generate images in @adobeexpress.adobe.com!

Love Ss thoughtful questions about the ethics, safety & environmental impacts of creating and using artificial intelligence tools.

“Ms. H! I’m just finishing drawing my boss character!” Ss in grade 4-5 working this week on their @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social “Ghostbusters” video game in Scratch— still a favorite! Such great lessons in game design, story elements, sequencing, repetition, variables, digital art and more. #CSed

Impressed everyday with how creative my Ss are! 6th grade has been using Tinkercad Codeblocks to design custom “buttons” to practice coordinates & repetition. They’re turning out even better than I could have imagined!

Watched a tutorial during my morning prep, and had my 1st @figma.com Design created & laser cut (earrings maybe?) by lunch. So fun!!
So I decided to teach my #MakerEd 7th & 8th Ss their first lesson in the afternoon. Can’t wait to see what they create!

Teaching #CSed to some of the younger grades again this year, so of course had to launch with our @hellorubyworld “What Is A Computer” unit! 2nd graders had a blast learning about hardware by building model computers. #CSforAll #eduSky

Middle school maker class is rocking their first project of the trimester— hand sewn softies. Learning the running stitch & blanket stitch = excellent fine motor skill work!

Started with a 1st grade class today in #MakerEd & just loved the outcome of our first project. Ss built their names with a small set of random Legos and they were so creative, collaborative & encouraging in the process!

Fantastic first five days of school in the Fab Lab! From Lego build challenges to an Extraordinaires design thinking sprint to our first laser cutter projects, my 2nd-6th grade Ss are already showing so much creativity!

I 💙 this so much! For their final, some of my gr8 Ss wanted to create an animatronic hand to signASL w/@raspberrypi Pico & @pimoroni Inventor. It took hours of classes, lunch breaks & drop-ins just to build & code a few fingers to move. So proud of their hard work & dedication! #CSed #MakerEd

My 7th grade Comp Sci Ss are getting ready to present their final @raspberrypi.com Robotics Design projects this week. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the cool features this year’s class added to the traditional “robotic buggy” build…

My annual 7th grade robotics exhibition is just a couple weeks away, and Ss are hustling to put the final pieces together on their bots. This yr’s classes are trying out some REALLY neat ideas! So proud of their creativity & perseverance!

Testing out my new Toybox 3D printer today. So far, so easy to use!

My Ss have some fun ideas for their end of yr @raspberrypi.com robotics projects & I’m having to learn some new skills alongside them to make it happen. This week— speech recognition. Took a few days of failures but finally got something working! 🎉 👏🏻

Ss using homemade soil sensors + @raspberrypi.com + @pimoroni.com Explorer Hat this week to test for moisture in soil. Today we’ll graph our data w/pygal. Learning lots about electricity & data collection! #CSed #MakerEd

Huge to thx to Chris Regini for sharing his lesson all those yrs ago 😁

The art T and I decided to collaborate on a garden art project w/our 4th grade classes. My class’s giant pinwheels went in today and I am loving the outcome. They look especially striking when spinning!

A1: My middle school comp sci Ss keep digital portfolios in Seesaw, where they share their work & reflect on their learning. Below is one of my favorite reflections so far this year…

5th grade has been creating “virtual pets/plants” in Scratch and they are looking SOOO cute!

Ss practicing everything from animation & design skills to variables, events & broadcasts. WOW these kids are creative!

When one of your middle school CS Ss turns their school Walk-a-Thon shirt into a Raspberry Pi pun 🙃

Unboxing my @pimoroni.com order today and how adorable is this Pibow packaging??
Was surprised to find out that they’re actually little striped paper bags wrapped around each case 😍

So proud of my 8th graders who presented their progress on our “electronic word art for belonging” mini-projects yesterday. So many compliments from our audience of parents & staff. Wish I could share all the smiles 😊

My favorite unit of the year has begun 👏🏻 & this year’s 7th graders are making loads of progress in just a few days!
So far Ss learned how to connect motors, methods for forward & backward, and how to connect to a chassis. Can’t wait to see what this group comes up with!

After introducing radial symmetry on paper in 5th grade, we experimented with creating radial art in Scratch. So fun to see Ss unique creations!
