Both of the kids participated in the local technology fair this year, and they both chose to complete a project in the area of digital game design. Olivia used the program "Scratch" to create a game called "Trash Sort". The object of the game was to put paper, plastic, and aluminum waste items into the appropriate recycling bins. She ended up getting a third place medal.
Owen used the program "Bloxels" to create a game called "Stayin' Alive". It was a Mario-type game where a character is trying to complete a level without dying. He did not place, but I am proud of his effort.
The technology fair is a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase and present their work. I am so glad that our school system encourages students to participate in this worthwhile venture.
