Fifth and sixth graders at Franklin Square’s John Street School have learned how to code at the After-Care Enrichment program.
District-wide coding teacher Julia Caiazzo and differentiation teacher Maggie Tiller worked with the students over the course of eight days on the topic. In groups and individually, students used popsicle sticks to create mazes during a Sept. 26 lesson.
The kids used text and block coding through the Sphero Edu program on their iPads to program robot balls to move through the maze. Caiazzo and Tiller taught students how to code the robot balls to emit sound, change color and move based on their interaction with the iPads.
