CoderZ League Activity At Park Place
PPMS students are using all STEM skills (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) in this optional CoderZ League activity. Through a series of missions and challenges, they programmed a robot in a virtual simulation. The goal of every team is to earn the most points and advance through the three stages to become the champions. The excitement and enthusiasm for learning was so fun to see!
Thank you, Monroe Public Schools Foundation for providing the grant to make this program possible for our students!
