🎉It was an absolute blast to coach these two FLL Explore teams!

We traveled to the ASU Glendale campus on Saturday to present months of learning (Unearthed theme - archeology!), designing, building, coding and creating presentations to showcase our work.

We are so proud of these 8 young learners who pushed past a little bit of public speaking anxiety to present to two judges, parents, family and friends all on their own! Wize Team Galaxy won a trophy for their Teamwork and Wize Team Stardust won a trophy for their creative cliff-dwelling Lego model.

Congrats to our FLL Explore teams! 💫

Wow!

⚡LEGO just dropped their biggest innovation since... ever.
The new SMART Play™ System embeds sensors directly into bricks—responding to motion, detecting colors, and reacting to how kids play with light and sound.

As STEAM educators, we see this for what it is: computational thinking through tangible play.

Kids won't just build. They'll program physical behavior, experience real-time feedback, and develop engineering intuition—all without a screen.

We're thrilled to be bringing our project-based coding club to Traditional School - San Tan later this month! Students will learn how to use coordinates & graphing skills, combined with beginning coding techniques they'll learn in our program, to bring their designs to life in the Minecraft Education platform.

Space is limited - sign your LTS STV students up now for an intro to Computer Science while they think they're playing their favorite game. 😀
