Welcome Back!

Hi All,

Looking forward to seeing all of you on Tuesday.  Hope you had a decent break!  Mine was full of family time.

It is going to be a busy 3 months till our final week of school.

When we return tomorrow, we'll be focused on evaluation video games for the remainder of the week.  We'll start on Tuesday by reviewing the rubric used to score the games and then move on to playing and scoring games.  After we find our top 3 games, we'll celebrate on Friday and get into our new activities, CSP for P2 & 4.  Code development for P5 & 6. 

Looking forward to our end of year adventures!


Meanwhile, check out something big in the air you may see flying over our school in the coming year.  Click here to watch it make its first flight. Some of you may even work on it.  Check out the career opportunities created by this awesome space flight tech.


It will be able to be launched from the Stratolaunch vehicle as will the above-pictured vehicles.
