Second Grade Bee-Bot Towns

Date: 

Thursday, April 13, 2017

In theme, second graders worked in pairs to research different types of homes around the world. They brought their findings to theme art and created houses in town settings, using a variety of materials and techniques to make their models as realistic as possible. Then they applied coding and design skills to program Bee-Bots to successfully maneuver through their 3D towns. They invited the first grade to “tour” their towns. The first graders watched the Bee-Bots’ journeys while second grade partners described the elements of their projects and shared brochures that offered compelling reasons to “stay for a visit” in their town.
