Robots, Robots, Everywhere

THE
GROWL
Mrs. West’s 5th grade students learned computer science standards with the use of 12 programmable robots. Each stu-dent had the opportunity to program their computer to per-form a series of tasks. Many of them choose to have their robot draw a picture of a shape, flower or house, while oth-ers programmed their robot to take down a structure they created. The robots were made possible by a grant from the Foundation of Clovis Schools that was written by our amaz-ing Technology teacher, Mrs. Melissa Culver!
