Thank You Families!
We would like to thank all of our families for your generous donations all week. We truly feel appreciated!
Congratulations!
Six of our students went to the Track in Boston to compete in an in-person STEM event with other schools across Massachusetts. There were over 1,000 students in attendance and over 500 Industry Professionals and teachers. The students presented their projects from their Computer Science class with Ms. Serradas to over 10 industry professionals who provided feedback on how their projects could work in the real world and judged them on a variety of standards. Proudly representing the Coakley was:
Maddie the Wolf Leader Peterson and Maren Norton for their Pink Palace, the most adorable children’s bedroom, using switches and pressure sensors to turn on lights, play music and spin a fan. The details are amazing!
Layla Ferguson and Elina Gillbow for their amusement park called Chewy Park. It’s a fun land for dogs and pets of all kinds. Their project had swings that rotated, a ticket booth for redeeming prizes and even fireworks.
Riley Adams and Kirk Mathews used MIT App Inventor to create Break N Bounce which is similar to the Breakout game. They used over 2,000 blocks of code incorporating 3 levels of difficulty into their game. They will be selling their game on the Play Store!
Although our students didn’t officially win, they received lots of recognition for their amazing projects. We are extremely proud of each and every one of them. Congratulations on a job well done!! A special thank you to Mr. Sleeman for his tinkering and 3D printing inventions. We look forward to bringing more students to this showcase next year! Look below for some photos!
