Thursday was Day 2 of our Destination Moon Competition 🌑🚀It was another great day of seeing the students’ creativity and their excitement for space! We were to have Katye Campbell, Brevard County School Board Member, District 5 volunteer her time to judge in the Minecraft room!
The team from #brevardedtech and Curriculum and Instruction are proud to partner with #boeinginspires to bring this amazing opportunity to our students. We are also grateful for our partnership with Aldrin Family Foundation who provided our beautiful Moon maps! #brevardpublicschools

Yesterday, nine teams attended day 1 of our Destination Moon competition which is sponsored by The Boeing Company! Students competed in Minecraft Education by designing a basecamp on the Moon. They built and coded LEGO Education Spike Prime robots to complete tasks on a Moon map from the Aldrin Family Foundation. Space influencers from each team documented the team’s journey and submitted iMovie videos for judging. Finally, teams competed in the Moon Base Blitz, a top secret mission revealed only to the students during the event! We are so proud of all the hard work that students put into their projects! We loved the teamwork and great sportsmanship we saw! Way to go, future Moonwalkers!

Thank you, Driftwood Dyes , for designing our Destination Moon shirts! You are truly talented! #brevardedtech

Mr. Englert and his students have been very busy at Ralph Williams Elementary! VR and Sphero Robots… rocks with 4/5, animal classification with 3rd, clouds with 5th ancient China and ancient Egypt with 6th! We love all this creativity! #brevardedtech #brevardpublicschools

South Lake Elementary first graders created timelines of their lives as they learned this social studies skill! Students added pictures and recorded themselves using their iPads. Great work, Sharks! #BrevardEdTech #applelearningcoach #brevardpublicschools

#brevardedtech is amazed with the fantastic artwork from a South Lake Elementary first grade artist! This is all done on an iPad!

#brevardedtech had an amazing time at Ralph Williams Elementary’s STEM Night! Students made LED light up bookmarks in the STEM lab while others had fun with #Intelino smart trains. We love seeing the excitement that creating and coding builds!!

#brevardedtech had a fantastic time visiting all of the 1st grade students at Lockmar Elementary School - Palm Bay Florida on January 16th. Using Keynote on their iPads, students practiced adding a magic e to the end of short “a” words to see how the vowel sound changes. It was exciting to watch their faces light up as they transformed words and built their phonics skills through technology.
A big thank you to Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Abraira, and Mrs. Johnson for welcoming us into your classrooms and sharing your amazing students with us today. #applelearningcoach

Andersen Elementary School students in Mrs.Hamrick and Mrs.Hiller’s first grade classes practiced long a magic e using IPad! #brevardedtech is very impressed with how well the students knew the iPad tools! Great job, Eagles! #AppleLearningCoach

Manatee Elementary 5th graders in Mrs. Pierce’s class created posters in Adobe for Education Express to share their research about people from the American Revolution. #brevardedtech

4th grade students in Mrs. Walker’s class at R.L. Stevenson Elementary School of the Arts worked on solving The Rock Robber, showcasing their knowledge of the rock cycle! #brevardedtech

Thanks to the Connection I.T. Solutions Innovating Educator grant that Mrs. Perini from Cambridge Elementary School won. Each student was able to explore 2D shapes with the creation of bubble wands using the 3Doodler.

Dr.Ehley’s 5th grade classes at Tropical Elementary School explored the area and perimeter of rectangles using Sphero Bolt. #BrevardEdTech #brevardpublicschools

Brevard Elementary Science Program and #brevardedtech sincerely appreciate Brevard Schools Foundation and all the sponsors who make our 6th grade Destination Space program possible for BPS6th graders! And we greatly appreciate Dionne, Shannon, and all the education staff at Delaware North Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex who partner with us and work to create a great experience for students! Thank you to everyone who came out for Sponsor Day yesterday! #brevardpublicschools

STEM camp students at Ralph Williams Elementary worked together in teams to design and build a soccer goal from maker space materials. They worked through the engineering design process when making their goals. Students then coded dash robots to go around four players or obstacles on the field, launched a ball into the goal and then returned to the starting point while going around three more obstacles. Tomorrow we will use green screen to video tape the process and make dash actually run on a soccer field.
