My Project

The BBC Microbit will allow my students to engage in physical computing in ways that promote critical and creative thinking.

My goals for this project is to expose4 my students to coding and physical computing in ways that foster growth across core content areas.

This will also provide an entry for my students to participate in computer science beyond coding and to experience what their creative coding can produce in terms of tangible applications.

My students are awesome because they think of amazing questions that help to propel their learning as well as the learning of their peers. Their curiosity is limitless!
