Walter Woodward First and Second Grade students created stylish necklaces for themselves while learning to code from their expert “teachers”, Ms. Meyers’ Careers with Children high school students from Lathrop High School.
Second grade teacher, Ms. Micheletos of Woodward Elementary School, initiated the program collaboration seven years ago, explained Ms. Overbeck. Ms. Overbeck’s class recently enjoyed this same experience at Lathrop High School.
“The purpose is to expose our students to STEM and STEAM in an interactive and colorful way.”
Inside a computer, everything is numbers, specifically binary numbers. Students learned that computers do not understand letters, pictures, color, sound, or videos and that software imposes human interpretations of the data.
Students selected a word they were familiar with such as their name, or mom or dad. They learned how to spell out that word in binary language using colorful beads. Each letter in the word is represented in a colored bead pattern which would translate into numbers when coding.
Students are learning key elements of digital literacy in an innovative and interactive way. Digital literacy does not replace traditional forms of literacy, instead building upon the skills that form the foundation of traditional forms of literacy.

In October, teacher Megan Smith from Lathrop High School took her turn to fly with the NASA SOFIA Airborne Astronomy Ambassadors program.
A program that only 14 school districts in the country are invited to participate in.
Smith took her flight experience to a George McParland third grade class studying mystery science lessons in space, and told stories of infrared astronomy over astronaut ice cream. Students had a BLAST!
