Students collaborated in small teams to plan mazes, write coding sequences, and watch their robots come to life, cheering each other on when they successfully solved a challenge. Meanwhile, our Bridge Builders kit sparked amazing conversations about engineering and design, as students constructed bridges strong enough to hold weights. \r\n\r\nNext, we are planning even bigger projects: bridge design challenges, robot races, and coding obstacle courses.
