A Treat for Our Robotics, Coding, and Minecraft Clubs

On Thursday, our PES Robotics, Coding, and Minecraft clubs were incredibly lucky to hear and learn from a Drone Racing League technical team member and one of the 12 drone pilots who will be competing at the championship race ("Miami 3-0-FLY") tomorrow at Loan Depot Park. Our students learned about the league, the drones, and future career opportunities. They had an opportunity to ask questions and to see and touch one of the racing drones.


Pinecrest Elementary families are invited to attend the DRL event on Saturday, February 25th, after Carnival. You can grab your complimentary tickets using the QR code below.


Doors open at 6:00pm and the race begins at 7:30pm. See you there!

Calling All 5th Grade Students and Families

Attention 4th and 5th Graders: Join the Cortada Science Art Academy

The Xavier Cortada Foundation is launching the Cortada Science Art Academy at Pinecrest Gardens (CSAA) for students between the ages of 9-12. The Academy is an afterschool program that begins on March 27th and will run for two hours (3:45pm - 5:45pm) twice a week (Monday/Thursday) for 6 weeks.
Students will discover how they can use the power of art to spur social and environmental action. Through engaged studio sessions and presentations at Pinecrest Gardens’ Hammock Pavilion, students will learn how to use creativity and leadership to help conserve Florida’s ecosystems, defend global biodiversity, and advance the work of climate scientists.
The Foundation has been awarded a grant to provide 15 full scholarships for Village of Pinecrest students. Recipients of this scholarship will attend this afterschool program for free. For those who would like to pay, the entire six-week program has a tuition of $300.

You can learn more about this program here: https://cortada.com/academy/
