My Students

Students at my exceptional high school come from all walks of life with a wide range of academic and creative abilities. My students are enrolled in a Foundations in Programming course which is an introduction to basic coding and computer science.

My hope is to encourage students to explore Computer Science at an early age in the hope that they will gravitate towards these much in demand, high paying jobs.

Students at my school are extremely motivated and we have some awesome Career Academies to help give students a taste of different careers. I'd like to see more students think of Computer Science as a future career!

My Project

My Foundations of Programming class has been working hard on learning Python programming. With COVID restrictions, we have not been able to work in a physically collaborative environment this year. Breakout Edu games consist if a combination of digital and physical puzzles that need to be solved in a given amount of time. Players are challenged to open the locked Breakout EDU box, using critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.

I plan on using weekly Breakout Edu activities to build a collaborative working environment in my Computer Science class, to work on teambuilding skills.

The teacher subscription I've requested will give me and m students access to a multitude of games that students can solve in teams, using critical thinking and deductive skills. These skills will then be transferred into real life programming, project building skills, when my students work on collaborative Python projects in class.

In addition, these activities will give my student a chance to get up and move around, another skill that seems to have been lost due to previous COVID restrictions. Students need intentional activities to foster conversation, communication, and collaboration. This is important for their physical and emotional well being.

The ultimate goal of this project is to bring in the integral "collaboration" element of programming into my Computer Science classroom!
