Do these @hamlin Board members look like they’re working?
Board trustees try their hand at fourth grade Lego robotics activity.
Well they most certainly are; working and learning! The tech team welcomed school board members into the @RiviterLab to learn a little bit more about what would be happening in the rejuvenated space.
The team thought the best way to do this would be to get the board in the space and using the tools. The board heard some introductory comments about the space from Director of Technology & Innovation Mark Picketts before being divided into three groups. The first group explored Circuit Scribe by electro
ninks and worked through an introductory activity housed within Autodesk’s Project Ignite toolkit. The second group worked with Middle School Technology Integration Specialist Jim Lengel as he walked them through the process his first trimester 3D digital arts students are experiencing: building laser cut lamps. The third group engaged with Lower School STEM coordinator and Integration Specialist – Caroline Windell and worked through the identical lessons some of their 4th grade daughters had completed earlier in the day – an introductory investigation on movement with the Lego EV3 robots.
The slide deck that introduced the Board to the space highlighted the space as one shared by all students, introduced our partnership with the Rosie the Riveter National Historic Park site, as well as let them know the things on our: Today, Monday, and Someday lists:
