El Cerrito hosted their first Epic Build Showcase of the school year featuring Scratch. All students in Transitional Kindergarten through 6th Grade used a program called Scratch to code and create varying levels of projects. At El Cerrito, students are engaged in structured Computer Science lessons and activities throughout core subject areas. Students are empowered to become problem solvers using precise commands and directions to code a solution. These experiences contribute to student ownership of their work, and deep and meaningful learning in all content areas. In addition, their STEM lab, which includes a variety of technology tools such as 3-D printers, Spheros, and Ozobots, is a place where students interact with technology in new and different ways, allowing them to engage in collaborative projects, thereby ensuring their future success through meaningful and engaging learning activities both during the school day and in our after school programs.
