ACE

ACE programming often involves teaching, presenting, and other partnerships, and the Bourn Idea Lab can assist. Students could design a coding lesson for an outside group, enliven a presentation, or create an interactive experience.

Accessibility Projects

An Org might engage in design thinking to create useful tools for people with visual impairment or other challenges.

Rob Morrill on Twitter“Another great project with 7th graders animating 2nd graders' library books. Here, Where the Wild Things Are comes to life with @MSMakeCode and @microbit_edu. Can't wait for them to share. https://t.co/eKwMKZO7BI”

Share a Story

In this project, 7th graders animated a story that their second grade friends had read. The older students then presented these projects to the very appreciative younger students. What kind of collaborations might an ACE Org invent?

Stitch Fix

An embroidery and/or sewing project can be a great activity to bring to younger students. Here is a tic-tac-toe game with button game pieces, and a heart could be a fun Valentine's project.

Mobile Book Cart

An Org might want to build a mobile book lending cart to share with a particular community.

Touch Code

The touch-reactive pads on these devices can trigger light, motion, text, images, and sound. Just learning to code this behavior is valuable, but might it also be used to symbolize ideas and connections?

Making Music

An ACE Org could help young students make a project like this one, and these touch-interactive faces could even help kids express their feelings.
