Speak 21st Century

The Dallastown Area Educational Foundation presented Dallastown Area Middle School Gifted Education teacher Ellen Connelly a $2,500 grant for the purchase of technology and resources to support a programming and coding learning station. The grant will expose students to C and C++ language, components of an upcoming course in the middle school's STEM program.
Through its redesign process, the middle school is developing course experiences that promote inquiry and exploration through project-based-learning. Connelly and teachers Brian Goerner, Maria Cornish, Andrew Foust, Robby Pantellas, Amy Steele, and Melissa Picchini have collaborated with York College professors Kala Meah and Drew Wilkerson to explore and develop relevant coding experiences for middle level students.
