STEM Update

As I have said many times, the things we do in Digital Tech are just things I really enjoy, and if the young people like them too, well, that is a bonus.

That was definitely the case this week when with our middle-year students we began working on Pixel Art animations, something all of us loved doing (it was also just an excuse for me to play Super Mario World in class...something they also enjoyed surprisingly 😉)

 

Here you can see some of their work coming to life. We are working on an 'Autumn' theme across the animations that we will end up combining into one giant wall of pixels to put on display at the school entrance - coming soon!

 

PS: In case they ask, this is the free app we used to make our creations:
