WHAT'S HAPPENING IN STEAM.
Term one is all about coding. The Junior students have been using the ipads to take photos and making their own picture algorithms. Foundation students are learning to use the forward, backward, left and right. The Middle and Senior students are learning to use the loops and repeat codes, degrees and pixel length. We are learning to draw and our inner artist is coming out.
