"We are programming a robot!"

Our classes have had the opportunity to use the iPads this week. The students used an app called Lightbot to program a robot to move and "light" certain tiles. This problem solving app was very popular, and the students figured out how to use it very quickly. The tasks got harder and harder, and I was very impressed with the coding skills of our children!

We also tested out Scratch Jr., another programming app. This app allowed the students to use their imagination to create a cartoon world and make characters move. We will explore MIT's Scratch program in the next few weeks.
