ANNOUNCEMENTS

FIRST MEETING OF THE YEAR was a success!  We started the club with individual Introductions and a team building game.  We engaged the kids in various centers:

• Jelly Sandwich Coding (of course)
• Level setting behavioral expectations around what it means to be a team player and operating as a "Gracious Professional."
• Getting up close with the missions for the game so that they can think about the things that they can possibly do to solve them. 
• Identifying key parts in their team box (motors, caster ball, colored sensors, speakers).

 

We had so much learning and fun for our first Kick Off session this afternoon.  Whoever thought that making Jelly Sandwiches can teach sooo much about coding?  Turns out, it was the kids favorite and tastiest 😀.  Our volunteers plated sandwiches at the end of the club, AFTER hands were washed/sanitized.  I can't tell you the importance of you participation and hoping to meet more of you as the club goes on.

 

 

PARENT/GUARDIAN VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

DO NOT BE AFRAID!!! We simply need you to bring your love of inspiring children to think and to work as a team. Of course, if you happen to have some knowledge of block coding or engineering…that is a plus, but NOT mandatory.
