Grundy Tech Bytes: Coding Critters

Grundy Tech Bytes feature user-friendly technology that can be used in homes, libraries, and classrooms. These videos were created to show fun ways of using STEM technologies at home or in the classroom. Most of these technologies utilize the 4 C's: Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, and Communication. This video features Coding Critters. For resources and lesson plans, please visit the following website: https://www.learningresources.com/blog/hour-of-code-2021 This program is part of Grundy Library's STEMtastic Learning Initiative. The STEMtastic Learning Initiative is made possible through the generous support of The Bristol Complex Community Advisory Committee (CAC).
