@AFCEA @OneRCPSchools @FtBelvoirES @FCPSSTEAM @DoDEACrossroads @pwcgov @AFCEABelvoir @AFCEAQP @VTmetroDC @FCLEdu Our wonderful sponsors:

Over 470 5th graders joined a 2nd pilot of our @AFCEA Engineer the Planet Hackathon from @OneRCPSchools, @FtBelvoirES, @FCPSSTEAM and @DoDEACrossroads in @pwcgov. Thanks to @AFCEABelvoir, @AFCEARockbridge, @AFCEAQP our @VTmetroDC #microbit provider @FCLEdu, and all our sponsors.

The 🆕 #microbit Python Editor is designed to help students who are learning to code using a text-based language. It's full of tools to help you spend 👉more time teaching👈, from modelling programming tasks to testing and developing code 🙌 #edtechteachers #csteachers #coding

This is great recognition of our long-term collaboration using microcontrollers in 5th and 6th grade classrooms, leading to a fascinating AFCEA pilot project.

As cities change, more people use communal bikes & scooters — but those people are relatively unprotected on the road. To improve road safety, we’re working with @commsignia & @spokesafety to add #CV2X technology into micro mobility vehicles. Learn more:

Kids Lab coders in 4th & 5th grade constructed programs for their microbits. Using computer science, they set up algorithms for games and more! @dodeagrants @FtBelvoirES @FCPSSTEAM

Today our Young Scholars participated in a fantastic field trip to the @Qualcomm@Thinkabit_Lab! Amazing lessons, resources, and inspiring hands on activities using C++ programming and robotics. @VT_ThinkabitLab @QualcommforGood @FCPSSTEAM @FCPSScience @fcpsnews
