Our students in Ms. Ragusa’s first grade class have been learning how to control and code our Smart Start Dash robots! 🤖✨
To top it off, they became the teachers, visiting Mrs. Maldonado’s class to demonstrate how to program and operate the Dash bots.
We love seeing our young learners build confidence while sharing their knowledge with others! 💡👏
