Ms. Walsh's STEAM Class Site
Bored? Curious? Good! Now check these out....
Websites
This is a great website to learn HOW to code, get IDEAS for what to do next, or IMPROVE your coding skills! If you worked with ScratchJr or the Mindstorm robots this past year then you will recognize the "drag and drop" set up.
This website is the official site for the invention kit/ extraordinary circuit builder toy. There's cool information and neat videos and the top right corner of the main page there is a button GALLERY that is fun to check out.
Super fun site! We all coded with ScratchJr on the iPads (which you can download FREE on both Apple and Android devices).... this site will expand on everything we learned in the junior version. The software is free and there is a huge community of creators who share their work of art and games. Check them out!
Great website to watch a wide range of interesting, unique videos about people and the wide world around us (and beyond!). Videos are quick and to the point and are both informative and inspiring.
PBS Kids- Design Squad
This is the site for design projects, both ideas for them and the reasons for the science behind them. Perfect for the summer, science projects or a rainy day!
