So, while covering core CS concepts, like logic, variables, or functions, these tools help teachers connect math and coding in fun ways.
Connecting STEAM to this real-world Halloween fun helps students to stay engaged and build some key skills. In these projects, they'll explore design thinking, engineering, coding, and more by programming an Ozobot Evo to trick-or-treat, make a haunted diorama with the Glowforge 3D laser printer, customize a costume with the MakeDo tools, or doodle a life-sized 3D bat.
