Year 9 STEAM - Systems 'Make code' excursion

Students enrolled in Year 9 STEAM - Systems and IT had the opportunity to visit the Science Gallery, where they were provided with a full course of educational offerings. This included a tour of the gallery, a guided workshop where students learned how computers process information, and a hands-on session in which they used block coding to create their own games on the Microsoft ‘Make Code’ Arcade. 

Students got creative with their games, producing everything from side-scrollers, escaping an enemy, shooters, all the way to (attempted) recreations of modern AAA titles! Students took back what they learned into the classroom, using their new skills to masterfully program Microsoft Micro:bits.
