Evans County Charter School System

Students in iTeach Maker Club were fully immersed in storytelling and coding with Sphero BOLT! The room was silent during the planning phase—you could have heard a pen drop as they carefully crafted their stories. Then, as they executed their code, the classroom transformed into a vibrant scene of movement, light, and sound! They explored asynchronous and synchronous programming, utilized delay blocks, and brought their creativity to life in ways that were both engaging and educational. From scary stories to high-speed chases, their stories filled the room, showcasing the perfect blend of literacy, creativity, and computer science. This hands-on learning experience kept students captivated from start to finish, proving that coding isn’t just about logic—it’s about storytelling too!
