🤖⭐️R2-D2 RETURNS TO SOWAMS SCHOOL FOR SECOND YEAR:
Third graders at Sowams School recently got into the Star Wars spirit with a visit from R2-D2!
The life-sized Droid was built and programmed by Joe Francazio. Joe shared with third grade students his process for designing, engineering, and building R2-D2 and students learned about real-world applications for math and coding.
Thank you, Joe, for bringing a galaxy far, far away to our Barrington classrooms! This visit was made possible thanks to the Sowams School PTO.
