Code Lab ’22 Unites Big and Little Dalton for a Week of Coding and Collaboration

Coordinated by the New Lab, Engineering, and Science departments, Code Lab ’22 featured 180 High School students collaborating and coding with the First Program!

Working together, students from Big and Little Dalton engaged in a week of fun coding Assignments. Together they programmed drones, a robot, and a mouse robot and even built a marble-powered computer.

With each Assignment, students learned computational ideas, such as variables and conditions; shared problem-solving strategies; persevered when faced with unexpected bugs or challenges; and developed cross-divisional connections.

This semester a community boat-building project — a new, exciting endeavor on the 13th floor of 89th Street — began with High School students constructing a 12-foot wood-planked solo canoe. The project is part of the HS woodworking class but is also an open community-build for students and faculty during designated times. We will continue to post updates and photos on our website as the project takes shape!
