My Project

These items will build upon coding using different scenarios. This builds the foundation of coding and using math, science, higher creativity, and webs depth of knowledge to explain coding on a higher level. This will make a difference in stretching knowledge of this game to apply to different areas in the school.

The goal is to build upon coding skills and lay the foundation of creative high-level thinking.

Many students will benefit by learning in different ways. They will be able to create a new board based on the school playground and learn from the function of it.

The students in the Gifted and Talented Classroom are special because they have a unique need to learn differently. They come with many natural desires and need opportunities to think outside of the traditional classroom. It is important for them to be given tasks they don't naturally know the answers to. These students value learning and have an eager desire to learn and grow.
