Programming over at Q2
Mr. Moore’s Class,
“For our Maze projects we used a program called Scratch, which is a programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations. We started by designing the maze layout, by drawing a maze-like background with single colored walls and a different single-colored end marker. We added a sprite that would navigate the maze. We kept it simple at first and had the sprite use the “up”, “down”, “left”, and “right” arrows to move. Eventually, we started adding much more complicated elements to our mazes. Many of my students had completely different ideas of what to include in their mazes. Some they kept simple, some added crazy colors, some had trap doors, moving pieces, and even slime. No two projects were the same, they combined, and built off of ideas they were able to see on another maze and made it into their own.”
I had the opportunity to go observe this class and was very impressed by the wealth of knowledge these students have and the enthusiasm that was displayed while I was in there. Our Administration joined in and tried to complete the mazes that the students created!
Such a great day!
This is an example of a CLASS that we offer that makes us different then the surrounding school! Another reason why Quest is the Best!
