While Katz Hillel recognized the potential of integrating tech education, the challenge lay in seamlessly embedding a comprehensive coding curriculum during regular school hours. How could ScholarStem ensure engaging, age-appropriate, and thematic digital creation sessions throughout the year?
The integration was more than just an academic success. It was a journey of discovery, creativity, and real-world application for students. Witnessing their animated stories and games, especially those underscoring the importance of ecological preservation, reinforced the mission of ScholarStem and Katz Hillel Day School: to provide holistic, future-forward, and purposeful education.
3rd graders delved into the pressing issue of ocean acidification. By producing an engaging animation in the visual coding language, Scratch, they illuminated the profound impacts on marine ecosystems.
1st graders took on their first animation challenge using iPads and a wonderful beginner coding app called Scratch Jr. Their goal was to design a cartoon of a frog jumping
