Students use coding commands to move the robots across letter, number, and shape grids, helping them develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and early computer science skills. They learn to plan, sequence steps, and revise their thinking when the Bee-Bot does not reach the intended destination.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is watching their code come to life. They love pressing the buttons and seeing if their Bee-Bot successfully reaches the correct location. The hands-on nature of the activity keeps students engaged and encourages collaboration as they work together to solve coding challenges.\r\n\r\nThe Bee-Bots have been especially beneficial for students who thrive with hands-on learning experiences. Many students who are typically quiet during lessons have gained confidence by explaining their coding strategies and helping classmates. Thanks to our donors, students are building important STEM skills while learning perseverance, teamwork, and creative problem-solving.","fullyFundedDate":1685825410141,"projectUrl":"project/giggles-for-bee-bots-that-ah-ha-mome/7190570/","projectTitle":"Giggles For Bee-Bots & That \"Ah-Ha\" Moment","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bogdanova","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3854212_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y80&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1676310413380","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3854212"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35038","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":498,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":53,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":11,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.4,"schoolId":35038,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kempsville Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kempsville Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/virginia-beach-city-public-schools/kempsville-elementary-school/35038"}
