A Spooky Good Time While Coding

The students in Ms. Baronoski's 5th & 6th grade enrichment/gifted class at Catalina School are coding their virtual CodeBot to navigate through eerie rooms of a haunted house.  They have to solve unique challenges and score points while developing their coding and problem-solving skills. They are given step-by-step objectives to complete, that start out simple, and build up to more complex challenges the further they go through the haunted house.

Across our campuses we offer many different STEAM club activities for all of our students.
