CJ, Jason, Justin, Olivia, MaKenzie and 27 other students are leading the effort in our newly formed 3-d club. Their goal is to learn how to code and create 3-d games. They are ambitious and hard working; the club was their idea, going to the administration and asking if they could form this club.
We are learning how to code and write 3-d modeling games, using software provided by gaming companies. The groups challenge is we do not have a computer that has the power and capabilities to run the software to code the game. They have so far this year investigated the system requirements of the software, and have compared this to the computers available in our school. They concluded we do not access to any computers that are capable of running the software. They have access to Chromebooks, which they have used for investigation, but are in need of a more powerful computer.
These students are all very interested in gaming, and computers in general. They see both the fun in gaming, and the real understanding that this is a huge industry, with many potential career opportunities.
Having a computer capable of running the software to create three-dimensional games will allow student to enter into the world of coding in a way that they are
My project will make a difference because, as I said before, these students are the digital natives.
Our classrooms are not yet at the level technologically to meet their needs as learners. This grant will help to close that gap just a little bit more.
In Their Own Words
Our groups project idea is to educate students about very useful computer skills. For example, building a computer, using the computer, coding and many more. To do this however, we need funding to purchase a computer capable of running the program required to create three-dimensional games. We will also learn how computers work by building one of our own.
With our newly formed group, we will demonstrate to the school district and community the interest and importance of technological science.
We help other students learning how to build, and understand the different parts of the computer. Teaching each other the different ways to code for three dimensional video programs.
With the growing tech industry it is crucial that we educate students on the applications of technology in the modern tech world. For us students, it is a creative way to use our skill sets to do something productive with our time. We plan to showcase to the community during our STEM fair.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
