DRONES & CODING

Learning by doing is fun, especially when the lessons take place outside the classroom on a blue-sky day. In a recent experiential outing, Tallulah Falls School students in Casey Barron and Josh Brady’s upper school coding class took to the skies with studentoperated drones. Working in pairs or small groups, the students made minor adjustments to the coding embedded in the drones before the trial flights. Brady said maneuvering the miniature flying machine from one spot to another was the goal of the exercise.

DRY ICE 101

To wrap up their study of matter, students in Heather Henriques’ eighth-grade science class explored the unique properties of dry ice.

“The bubbling mixture captured their imaginations and reinforced the lesson,” Henriques said. “This was a great end to our unit!”
