Break it Down to Build it Up: Using Large Building Bricks to Practice Computational Thinking
Students use large building bricks to practice computational thinking, direction giving and being specific in those directions. This lesson can be completed in one 30-45 minute class session. This is a great "unplugged" lesson to use during a computer science coding unit. As students work together they will see the importance of a common language or vocabulary so their builds are closer to matching instead of far off from each other.

This lesson demonstrates how you can build a safe with a programmable code to keep your lunch money safe. This is an important technology lesson where the focus is not only on the coding and problem
In this STEAM lesson for grades K-2, students will explore iguana habitats and learn how animals adapt to different environments. Students will read the book "I Wanna Iguana" and use a nonfiction book
Students will use the materials provided to engineer a vehicle that is powered by a robot and deliver a treat to a chosen location. Students will use the robots you have. I use Sphero and Edison
