We learned about Dr. Ayanna Howard today in @GirlsWhoCode She is doing research on how robots can improve our lives. The girls then worked with the @SpheroEdu robots. @southms_gf
Late Post-Our Maker Night at @southms_gf was a fun night for families. Our stations were @KEVAplanks @My_Clixo @strawbees @Makedo & card/dice games. We are so thankful to the @GFFEAlumniNet for their grant support over the past few yrs to purchase 4 out of the 5 activities.

Taking the famous @makeymakey piano to a whole other level with Scratch, @Makedo and other materials. We had keyboards, guitars, drum kits and more! They used Scratch to find the sounds and assign them to different keys.
