My Project

I am very excited to start a hands on project with my students this year to have them design their own mini golf course. Students will be using the coding skills they are learning in class to make moving components and responsive celebrations on the course

The materials in this project will give the students what they need to make the physical design of their course.

Students will be taking these projects from concept to completion and I want to make sure I have the raw materials they need to be successful.
