Twin Lakes Elementary hosts 'Kids and Coding' event for Lakeland students, families

Tomorrow's jobs will require the experience and expertise of today's young minds. Elementary students from across the Lakeland Joint School District enjoyed dabbling in age-appropriate robotics and tech toys Wednesday during the "Kids and Coding" Advanced Learning Program event at Twin Lakes Elementary School. Betty Kiefer Elementary kindergartner Atlas Pursley, 5, was engrossed in the world of Hexbugs, small robotic critters that vibrated along a green track on a table. “I just mowed that boy!” an animated Atlas Pursley exclaimed as one piece knocked another out of the track.
