In the newly refurbished library, Verne W. Critz students have been honing their coding skills. 
Librarian Lynn Cullen explained that students first used a Bee-Bot robot, which resembles a plastic yellow bee, to learn sequencing skills and to enter commands on a map including forward, backward, left and right. Those newly acquired coding skills were then put to use on district Chromebooks in which the students participated in a code.org activity called Star Wars Coding, programming droids and building their own galaxies far away.
