United Elementary students got a glimpse into the lives of engineers who use computer science and STEM in their careers everyday. Mr. Henning hosted the Amazon Cyber Robotics Challenge. In this experience, students were transported to a virtual Amazon warehouse, where they practiced coding, computational thinking, and collaborated in a gamified coding environment. Students worked together to program an Amazon Hercules robot to achieve missions in the virtual Amazon warehouse, and competed to see who could create the most efficient coding sequences. Additionally, they were able to hear two Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship winners share about their own personal journeys into computer science.
On Thursday, May 8th, Mr. Lee's Drone Class went to the Public Safety Training Facility at WCCC. There they participated in live burn training exercises with the Bettis Nuclear Naval Fire Department. The students used the District's new thermal camera drone to help identify hotspots in the structure.
