💎Standard: 3.C Plan collaboratively with other educators to create learning activities that cross disciplines to strengthen student understanding of CT and CS concepts and transfer the application of knowledge in new contexts.
Not only did my partner and I work together to create this fun activity, but we also found authentic examples to relate to. Collaboration can go much further than working with peers. For the Star Hero journey service project at Metro Elementary, I created a science activity involving soil types. Both Gills🖥️ and Bay area🖥️helped sponsor my activity by giving me free samples of all types of soils.
💎Standard: 3.A Model and learn with students how to formulate computational solutions to problems and how to give and receive actionable feedback.
While working with the drones, students saw a model of the code we were using to make the drones fly. I explained to them what each prompt meant and what it would cause the drone to do. While Raeleen was connecting the drone to Wi-Fi, I took the opportunity to explain some of the prompt controls and worked with them to quickly create a new line of code. After our demonstration, we tested the code that the students came up with, and they enjoyed watching their algorithm in action.
