#2 favorite project from the past year is Hungry Hungry Hippos with the EV3s! We’d added the touch sensors to move forwards/backwards. It reminded us of the game, so my co-teacher built the ring while the students & I added the ability to raise/drop the arm (aka the hippo mouth)!

#3 on the countdown of favorite projects from this past school year takes us back to Halloween for a #pygame! In #Python class, I always try to include a pygame since they're fun! In this game, our ghost throws pumpkins at the treat box until he hits it and the candy appears!

#4 on the countdown of favorite projects from the past school year: Akedo Battle! This year my son & his friends were playing with these #Akedo action figures. So we coded a Pokémon-style #battle with with the Akedo characters!

#6 on the countdown of favorite projects from this school year: #Godzilla! I hadn't seen any of these movies, and my Scratch students were talking about how much they loved them. So I watched a couple over that weekend, and we made some fun animations!

Next on the countdown of favorite projects from this school year: #7 is Compliments in 20 languages from #Python class. I wanted us to practice with libraries. Translate seemed like a fun one, but I wanted to make sure we weren't just making homework generators for Spanish class!

Counting down favorite projects from this year... #8 is "We don't talk about..." from Scratch class! We were all big fans of #Encanto and of #Bruno in particular, so we made our own Bruno-inspired animations.

Continuing my favorite projects of the year countdown: #9 is the walking robots from our Final Project choice board. We challenged the students to research their own designs & loved seeing what they came up with!

Being home with Covid means I have more time on my hands than usual. I've been doing the daily challenges on https://t.co/zUp6l98gUe. Today's challenge was "clock tower", so I had to represent #Denville!

In Computer Science, we had some downtime and everyone chose to play Google’s snake game. So I said we should build one ourselves in Scratch!

Looking forward to also building this with my Coding with Scratch kids this fall. There’s still time to register. https://t.co/PrHz7o3x4N

What did we do over summer vacation? Well, in Python class, we made space invader games!
