Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Have you ever had a moment when you just needed to do something different to relax?

Passive Programming in the elementary library will allow the students in my elementary library the opportunity to collaborate with one another, use logic to play games, craft, create, color, explore, and have plain old -fun- in the elementary library.

My project will allow students the opportunity to destress in the library. Students in grades PK-5 will have the opportunity to engage in interactive play, play games of logic, color, solve puzzles, code, and more !
