Our 3rd and 4th graders embarked on an exciting journey, using project-based learning STEM they built a community addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges aligned with SDGs 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7. Students designed and built a community store to support families in need and a food bank ensuring access to nutritious meals. They established a school garden, growing fresh produce for the local food bank and promoting sustainable agriculture. The outdoor gym encouraged the citizen to exercise regularly. Students created and built a system to conserve water thus helping the environment. Finally, they built models of solar panels and wind turbines, showcasing renewable energy solutions.

Through this project, our young learners gained hands-on experience, developed problem-solving skills, and fostered a sense of responsibility towards global challenges. Together, they demonstrated that education can empower future leaders to make a positive impact on the world!

Thank you Ms. Ortiz for sharing! Coding the Future is the perfect example of an afterschool enrichment program done right; a perfect balance between play and learning and a magical way to integrate a wide range of tech resources in every project!
