Robotics and Coding for Our Kids (Babies too!) with Gina Fugate

Cathy spends time with Gina Fugate, computer science and technology educator, doctoral scholar, and teacher of the visually impaired. Gina, whose vision is impacted by Retinitis Pigmentosa, is the coach of the DOT5UDOGS, the robotics team at The Maryland School for the Blind. Gina remembers her early life and how changes in technology over the years have impacted her and the students that she works with. Cathy connects coding and robotics to early learning and basic concepts that benefit all. Gina shares her wisdom with families regarding technology and gives us a peek into what happens at robotics team meetings.

Jenny, Cathy, and Paige demystify some computer science terms that may be new to our listeners. Jenny tells about a free program that makes literacy accessible for readers, and Paige shares more free resources that families can access.
