@LCPS_CTAE 6th graders @HPMS_Official dove into historical cryptography with signal flags & cipher wheels—decoding secret messages in teams! Despite the rain, indoor collaboration made it even better! Then came Morse Code, Pigpen, & Caesar Ciphers!🧠💬

5th graders got to try out the new micro:bits provided by the CS Dept and loved it! @AlgorithmChef helped us code them to play rock, paper, scissors and train an AI model to tell the difference between physical movements using the micro:bit’s accelerometer. @csforlcps

Today at Waxpool Elem, 5th graders took the role of rover programmers and created codes for their @Ozobot to navigate a grid of Mars. Using information from “Mission Command,” Ss had to test their codes and then send them to @NASA for verification. All of the 5Cs were on display!

We love seeing our kindergarten students engaged in computer science! Thanks for helping Rooty the Butterfly identify the different phases of its life cycle.
Kinder Coders to the rescue! Using our 5cs to demonstrate our knowledge of the life cycle of a butterfly by coding our iRobot! We love coding in Kinder ❤️ @TimSparbanie #teamthompson

K-1 Ts spent the afternoon with @AlgorithmChef & @regratz87 rocking out to a @Metallica themed PD that had them Entering the Coding Sandman & Riding the Lightning to help spark CS integration in @SSGSlcps. From @Ozobot to @makeymakey to an air guitar competition, this PD rocked!

History came alive today at the @awscloud Think Big Space when 2nd graders from Evergreen Mill Elementary worked with @AbbySpessard to create floats for famous Americans. After building their floats, they coded Root Robots to drive them in a small parade.

What a fun and creative way to combine music, computer science and science into one amazing activity.
5th graders used @LEGO_Education to create a record player! They had a blast exploring how the speed of the motor affects the sound of the music! @csforlcps

K & 2nd grade Ss @HorizonElem learned about Machine Learning from @AlgorithmChef. K Ss used @Google Autodraw to identify living & nonliving things at the park while 2nd grade used Teachable Machine to create a model that identified if an animal migrates or hibernates.

During their monthly CS CLTs, K-5 Ts @emerickelem1967 worked with @AlgorithmChef to learn how to use block-based coding to program @Ozobot to help a leprechaun collect shamrocks and reach a pot of gold. Ts then discussed ways they could integrate OzoBlockly into weekly lessons.
