End of the Year Projects
Submitted by Pamela Amaya on Tue, 05/28/2019 - 02:09
The school year is just about over and I like to offer my students an opportunity to demonstrate what they learned in the course. The last week of school is usually open and a good time for students to show off their creativity.

As we come close to the end of another school year, I like to survey my students to get their reactions to the various units we covered in the Exploring Computer Science course. Because of time constraints, various testing, assemblies, etc.

E-Textiles Unit

I just finished the wristband project and about to start the mural project. One of the best things about this unit is how it breaks down the coding. It makes it much more easy for those students who are struggling with coding.
