Ms. Vandenburgh and her third-grade students are making exciting strides in the world of robotics and coding, thanks to the introduction of a brand-new STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) class at Marie Curie Elementary.
The class, which integrates cutting-edge technology with hands-on learning, features robots and a user-friendly coding program designed to engage young learners in critical thinking and problem-solving. Students are not only learning how to code but are also discovering how technology can be used to creatively solve real-world challenges.
“The kids are incredibly enthusiastic,” said Ms. Vandenburgh. “They’re learning how to control the robots through coding, and it’s amazing to watch them develop new skills in such a fun and interactive way.”
This innovative program is part of the district’s continued commitment to providing students with a 21st-century education that prepares them for future success. The STEAM class offers a dynamic space where students can explore their interests in technology, teamwork, and creativity while gaining a deeper understanding of how things work in today’s digital world.
By integrating robotics and coding into the curriculum, GASD is fostering a generation of students who are not only tech-savvy but also ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
