Day 5: Friday June 26, 2020
Extend/Catch Up/Present!

Go Beyond!

Differentiation day: students that are behind get time with teachers to catch up on any of the first four lessons. Students that are ahead can look through each day's supplemental activities or tutorial books and learn how to do more at their own pace.

Here are some of the built in examples the Arduino program comes with:
