Photos from today (part 2 of 2)

Most of this week, I showed some of the Big Picture photos from around the world. Hugely popular with students of all ages and the computer teachers. Some photo sets even have a whole bunch of pictures of kids and the US. Students shared the more interesting photos with some other visitors and volunteers.

Today, I had the students make and test their own sensors (I had a lot more influence than I'd like to on what the groups made). I showed one of the teachers how to code Python programs that read words, spell words, and solve math problems. Then there was a school assembly.
