Happy Holidays
Dear Bogota Families,
On behalf of the Board of Education, we would like to extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones this holiday season. We hope you have a fabulous and festive time filled with joy, love, and happiness.
We also want to remind you that while the holiday season can be a time of grand celebration, it can also be a time of stress and difficulty for some members of our school community. If you or someone you know is in need of support during this time, please don't hesitate to reach out to your school or community resources for assistance.
We wish you all a safe and healthy holiday season and look forward to continuing to work together in the new year.

Coding the Future Enrichment Program
The Robotic Engineering Program provided first and second graders with the opportunity to build and operate different robots while learning visual coding and programming through hands-on experience. In addition, these students learned basic computer science concepts, including sequencing, algorithms, programming, debugging, and loops.
Some of our activities included designing and building mazes, tunnels, and obstacle courses. In addition, students programmed different robots to create a chain reaction and led two parades. By the end of the program, these students gained much more than basic computer science concepts. They built confidence in their abilities and became real team players.
The Intro to Micro:Bit Programmed was developed for fifth graders and middle school students. These students learned to use a microcontroller (Micro:bit) with coding software (MakeCode) to design physical computing projects. They wrote lines of code and learned how to save, download, and upload their code from software to the microbit. In addition, students engaged in pair programming to collaborate with a partner.
Their favorite projects included a Digital Name Badge, creating a Micro: bit Pet, Scorekeeper for tracking their goals, and recreating the classic game of Rock, Paper, Scissor with two micro: bits. These students displayed their creativity and personality throughout the whole program.
New Sessions will be starting in January 2023.
