Happy Summer

Congratulations on completing another year of school. I hope that your summer is filled with overflowing joys. I am looking forward to seeing family and friends, relaxing on a beach with several books I have been waiting to read, consuming my favorite foods, and learning more about Robotics.

I wish you all well, Mrs. Gorneau

Hello,

We are so excited that we have filled all the spots for the MIT World Scratch Day event on May 26 at Taipei American School.

Please remember to bring a healthy snack.

Before you attend the MIT World Scratch Day you should watch these videos to become familiar with the program. We are going to be Learning Through the Maze. These videos will show you some of the code you will be learning to use to navigate the Sprite through the maze you create.

MIT World Scratch Day

[caption id="attachment_3413" align="alignright" width="236" caption="Scratch, MIT"][/caption]

We are very excited to host MIT World Scratch Day again this year on May 26th.

This year students will be "Learning Through the Maze." They will be creating a maze that another player must navigate successfully. Each student's Scratch experience will determine how complicated the maze becomes, from simple to multi-level. Students creating games learn important problem solving and project design skills: logical reasoning, debugging problems, developing ideas from initial conception to completed project, and sustained focus and perseverance.

There are 2 sessions:

• 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM


• 12 PM - 2:30PM

Registration is closed at this time. More information about the day will be emailed to those parents who registered their children.
