👏 So great to see this in action at Purdue!

This episode was filmed during one of our SCALE K–12 INSPIRE camps at Purdue University, where students explored coding in a whole new way—through movement 🕺

We’re especially excited to see our own Dr. Morgan Hynes featured, sharing how hands-on, engaging experiences can make STEM more accessible and exciting for K–12 learners.
