The new resources from the \"Code Explorers\" project have empowered my elementary school students to dive into coding with confidence and curiosity. One standout moment was during our recent \"Build Your Own Game\" unit, where students used block-based coding platforms to design interactive games. Watching their faces light up as their characters moved and responded to commands was unforgettable—many students exclaimed, \"I didn't know I could do this!\"\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was palpable. Students eagerly unpacked the kits and devices, asking questions and brainstorming ideas before we even began the first lesson. For many, this was their first hands-on experience with coding tools, and it sparked a genuine interest in technology and problem-solving. One student, who had previously struggled to engage in class, became a leader in helping others debug their code—an inspiring shift that highlighted the power of access and opportunity.\r\nLooking ahead, we're diving deeper into digital storytelling. Students are now working on projects that combine coding with narrative writing, creating animated stories that reflect their unique voices. These next steps will not only build technical skills but also foster creativity, collaboration, and confidence. Your support has opened doors for these young learners, and we're so grateful for the peek you've taken into our classroom.
