Two students sit on the floor with their laptops and program small robots

It’s Computer Science Education Week, and Giffen Memorial Elementary School third-graders celebrated by learning to program small round robots to zoom across their classroom floor!

With guidance from science teacher Rebecca Bustelos and instructional technology coach Jeremy Dudley, students used their laptops to program the direction, speed and distance of their Sphero BOLT robots.
