New Creations with LittleBits (Tech Club)

Our Tech Club (801 Campus) met on Wed. Feb. 22 and created simple machines using LittleBits. Each table was given a LittleBit kit and a book of ideas. One table made a bubble fan, while another made a mobile marker on wheels. LittleBits is part of our TK6 MakerCart, but this was the first time students used them.



The Raleigh Campus Tech Club meets each month to explore our technology resources for students, under the leadership of Mrs. Tomeka Hartsfield, our Technology Teacher, and Mrs. Carol Gehringer, our Media Coordinator. Last month we met with Mr. Edwards, teacher of the Strategy Games elective, and played with a computer game his students created.

Want to contribute materials to our MakerCarts and LegoCarts? Contact Mrs. Carol Gehringer (cgehringer@gracechristian.net ) or check the latest SignUp Genius to see what we're collecting now.

Bee Bot speaks Spanish!


Kindergarten classes use Bee Bot to find a colored shape in Spanish.  Students followed Spanish directions to locate a certain colored shape, for example, "Bee Bot quiere a comer un ovalo rojo" mmmm....  ¡Vale!
