Coding + Science = The Ultimate Power Couple! 🧪✨In Mr. Baird's classroom, students are exploring where technology and science meet. By leveraging a SchoolAI space, students engaged in a hands-on tutorial with RAISE to animate their names through code.

More than just bouncing letters - it's about building computational thinking that translates across every scientific discipline. 🔬

The Junkyard Pups just crushed it at the FTC Chesapeake State Regional Tournament! Not only did we hit a season-high score of 219 points, but the defensive strategy was a total game-changer.

Beyond the scoreboard, our students were the talk of the event. Judges and coaches couldn’t stop praising their professionalism and sportsmanship!

Huge thanks to our students and families for an incredible season. We couldn’t be prouder! ⚙️🏆
