Frau Hodgdon’s German 4 class recently had a unique learning opportunity, thanks to an initiative by the German Goethe Institute and PASCH, Germany’s “Schools: Partners for the Future” program.
Live-linked via Zoom to engineers and app developers in Germany, students learned to code — in German — Calliope mini-computers using the Open Roberta® Lab app creation software.
ConVal High School was one of just three schools across the nation to receive class sets of Calliope mini computers. The Roberta® open source development platform uses drag-and-drop instructions which allow students to put together complex programming steps in an intuitive and easy-to-execute way.
