This project leads to an understanding that a whole may be built of smaller parts that fit and work together and provides an introduction to basic tools.

Checkerboard play challenges students to use spatial reasoning and computational thinking.

In this activity, students build a house of sticks, just like the second little pig in the classic story, The Three Little Pigs. Then, they program an educational robot to push down the house, much like the wolf who “blows the house down.”

Children have a naturally inquisitive mind. Foster their curiosity with a walk through an autumn field or park to answer age-old “why” questions. As you walk with your child, you can encourage them to ask questions.
