The sounds of excited students explaining code, testing robots and guiding parents through virtual worlds filled the halls of Eagle Crest Elementary on Thursday, May 7 during the school’s annual “Eagles Can Code” event. Families and friends gathered alongside teachers to experience firsthand how students have been using technology and creative problem-solving throughout the school year. As parents visited their students’ classrooms, they explored coding applications on iPads that allowed students to customize projects, control robots, and more.
Students from the Innovation Center also offered their support by leading hands-on robotics and virtual reality activities in the gym. Using low-code programming methods, Eagle Crest students directed how robots moved and interacted, while VR headsets transported participants into immersive digital environments. The evening celebrated a year of learning and highlighted how students across all grade levels advanced beyond foundational instruction to pursue passion-driven projects. Families also had the opportunity to experience firsthand the creativity, innovation, and technical skills students developed throughout the year.
