A very cool report from Anna Mac STREAM class....Today, third graders learned about events (a coding term for an action done by the programmer that triggers a reaction from the computer/robot). They also looked at examples of geometric abstraction (a style of art that uses geometric shapes to create an abstract picture) and related it to our previous STREAM lesson that tied the coding skill of “sequences” with the math concepts quadrilaterals and perimeter. Then, teams used coding software to randomly pair four events with four movement reactions (drive forward, backward, turn left or right). I called out events at random and each robot followed the unique code written by each team, moving across the paper and intersecting their own lines as well as those of other bots as they traveled. The end result was one giant piece of geometric abstract art created entirely by robots! The best moment was when students started calling out “my robot made a quadrilateral!” 🤩🤩

We are so grateful to our PTO for providing “Birthday Books” to our students to enjoy with family and friends!
