My Students

Everyday we are working hard to complete quests to get as many points as we can to unlock new quests.

Our student body consists of a diverse group of 6th graders through 8th graders.

Our school is located in beautiful South Haven, Michigan along the shore of Lake Michigan. We pride ourselves on showing everyone our RAM behavior. R.A.M. is not only our mascot, but is also stands for: Respectful, Accountable, & Motivated.

My Project

Students will use the Ipad Mini's to upload and play their games. They will first create and draw out their video game on grid paper using symbols. Once created they will upload their level using the Floors app from Pixel Press. After their game uploads they will be able to play it on the Ipad Mini.

This project will help students explore their creative side by creating their own video game.

They will then learn problem solving and logic from overcoming any obstacles they encounter in their game.
