Granville Elementary School

Robotics and Virtual Reality at Summer Academy! We have visiting educators at GES providing meaningful technology experiences for our students. The colored squares tell the robot car which direction to turn, helping kiddos learn the basics of coding, solve problems, and develop thinking skills. The virtual reality explorations showcased the night sky and other educational "trips" to new worlds for Granville students. Our students are playing, learning and having fun. Thank you to WSWHE BOCES, Laurie Guyon and her team for visiting our district.
