In partnership with the City of Carson's Parks and Recreation Department, the Snap Inc. Institute for Technology and Education (SITE) at California State University, Dominguez Hills, offered free coding classes to local students aged 5–12. Project CODER (Computing Opportunities for Discovery and Engagement through Robotics) was a resounding success, introducing young minds to the exciting world of computer science and robotics.
Over the course of five weeks, students explored the fundamentals of coding through a variety of engaging activities. From unplugged exercises to hands-on robotics projects using Bee-Bots, the program provided a fun and interactive learning experience.
The culmination of Project CODER was a special event where students showcased their skills to their families. With pride, they demonstrated what they had learned and received certificates of completion. To add to the excitement, students had the chance to win a Blue-Bot in a raffle and were given a Bee-Bot/Blue Bot Step Ruler, courtesy of Terrapin.
The positive response from families has made it clear that there is a strong demand for more coding opportunities in Carson. SITE is committed to working with the city to expand its programming and continue inspiring the next generation of computer scientists.

Perhaps your school could hold a similar event to show parents what your students are learning with Bee-Bots!
