First Graders Show Off Their Coding Skills at DPI
Some very special first graders from DRES were offered the opportunity to showcase their computer science skills at the NCDPI CS4NC expo in December. Out of the 16 teams selected from across the state to participate in the showcase, DRES' group was one of them. Four first graders, Jeremiah, Mason, Maelee, and Emmalee demonstrated how they are learning and utilizing computer science in their schools at the expo. They presented their project, โHowdy Do with Dashโ. The students, guided by their coaches, Jackie Tingen and Kelly Stewart, interviewed the attendees using Dash, a cute little blue robot that the students coded to respond to voice, navigate, dance, sing, and many other exciting functions.
