🛸🎯Day 2 = All Missions! All Day!

Today was all about hands-on exploration w/ #PiperMake. We powered through missions, made connections to the TEKS, & showed off some serious problem-solving skills. One more day to go! @friedtech.bsky.social #STEMeducation #EdTech #RaspberryPi #friedfan #cs4yall

🛠️ Day 1 = DONE ✅ and it was 🔥 computational thinking | unplugged coding challenges | and started building big ideas together-putting together our StartWithPiper base station! We are into Day 2 and all the missions that come with it!
@friedtech.bsky.social+Piper = 💯 #PiperMake #friedfan #RaspberryPi
