Robotics and Yom Ha'atzmaut

Dear Friends of Gefen and Tamar,

We had a very fun day today. First we celebrated Yom Ha'atzmaut, which is Israeli Independence Day. Here is a picture of Tamar students singing and laughing after having Israel's "birthday cake" after a special Israeli lunch.


We also spent the afternoon doing Robotics, which is our final unit in science this year. In Robotics, students use legos to build robots and then connect their robots to computers, which have coding software the students use to make the robots move and make noise. We are just starting this unit, so students are really just experimenting now. Here is a shot of the coding software screen.


A few shots of the students had at work...




And here is a video of a little robot "creature" made by Meg, Nate and Amanda M.


Hamorah Janis and I can't wait to see what the students create in the science classes to come!

Best,
Hamorah Eliza
