Diane Berner is an Extended Learning Program teacher at Hawthorne and George Washington Elementary Schools in Keokuk. Her Kindergarten - 3rd grade students are loving the robotics program by CodeJoy Education. Through the Iowa STEM Council, Ms. Berner submitted a Scale-Up application last year and was awarded the professional development and supplies needed to implement Robotic Investigations with Finch Robot. Professional development was held this past summer for a fall 2023 implementation.
Ms. Berner says, "We are using the SNAP block coding and the students are so excited to see their plans work. I highly recommend this program and the students are loving the Finches!"
