GWL Intro to Computer Science & Robotics

In January 2025, third-grade students continued to explore the basics of Computer Science and Robotics in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) at Glenwood Landing School. Elementary STEAM Teacher, Mr. Ryan Bridgwood said, “My students learned about sensors and how to use conditional coding to make robots respond to their environment.”

You could see how excited they were to not only learn how to code and program their robots but to engage in activities with them! Mr. Bridgwood added, “Students put their skills to the test by programming robots to complete fun challenges like navigating obstacle courses and reacting to different events. Students collaborated to help improve their coding skills and solve various problems. These hands-on activities helped students build important skills like problem-solving and teamwork while getting excited about technology and engineering!”
