Crosby Elementary Students who participated in the Robotics Program receive their reward, from BCC Faculty Member John Tatro, for a job well done!

On December 13th and December 15th, Crosby Elementary School and Conte Community School, respectively, held their Session One showcases. These showcases provided an opportunity for students in their afterschool programs to share what they have learned and created over the course of the 1st session.

At Crosby, BCC Faculty Member John Tatro created a video montage of the students programming the robots and preparing them for real-world applications (like determining colors, driving around a perimeter of a square, etc). Additionally, students in his engineering and math classes were an excellent support to the students, provided a few lessons themselves and assisted students one-on-one. It was easy to tell they enjoyed the experience.

At Conte, BCC Students in education, environmental sciences, and spanish helped to run a holistic and very educational garden program. Patrick and Lisa attended the showcase and assisted their students, along with Hannah from Berkshire Community Action Council, in creating a beautiful collage of the activities they participated both in the garden and in the classroom. The students enjoyed learning spanish and having a green thumb!
