Students at Fairfield Middle School in Henrico County are learning math, science and coding with the help of a golf simulator.

The technology records swing tracking data that students log for each other, calculate averages from, and represent in multiple ways as part of math and science lessons.

A separate station uses littleBits circuits to let students design and build a mechanical putter, incorporating lessons in coding and robotics.

The school obtained the simulator through a grant from the Henrico Education Foundation.
