This year, the students of the seventh grade at the Dayton Regional STEM School are using the language of the computer to build a website or portfolio about themselves for their STEM Foundation class. The students will start learning HTML, one of the languages of coding, to build their websites.
To create their website, students must start from scratch. Students must be creative and insert images from previous projects from throughout the year. Students will also be adding in examples of ways they have improved over the course of the year, like their Collaboration Logs, group projects, partner work, etc.
This project will be great for the students because it gives them the ability to show them how much they have grown over the first half of the year!
The 7th grade STEM Foundations (SF) teacher, Maria Cockroft, explains, “This project will make us better problem solvers and critical thinkers so that we are all prepared for any future job, even the ones not created yet.”
Another exciting part of this project is that the students will get to tie in there superhero teams to add some extra fun to this project. “Clues will be hidden inside the coding software and in hidden code messages. The point of the game is to learn the coding content but also to have fun. And to catch the bad guy!” Ms. Cockroft explained.
