Mrs. Martinek's second-grade class was in for some coding in the elementary library. They were learning about algorithms and how to make the BeeBots move. They then created challenges for each other.

One of Mrs. Adam's midmester courses is Intro to ESports. Coach Mr. Adam is graciously letting us borrow the high school esports equipment. Students are using critical thinking to analyze their racing courses. Then they research character stats and different setups that will perform well on the tracks those chose to race. They hypothesize how their race will go and then reflect after each race how they can improve the next race.
