Australian STEM Video Game Challenge Winners – Swingularity
I would like to congratulate Hudson Woolford, Kevin Chu, Mickey Chen and Ted Boss for winning the 2024 STEM Video Game challenge in the Year 10-12 Opens category. These students who were in Year 10 at the time, developed a golf game within an interstellar setting where players must utilise the gravitational forces of celestial bodies in order to make their shots, earn prizes, kit out the astronaut (golfer) and ultimately unlock new universes. A link to the trailer of the games video is here. A special thanks also to Mr Fryer who assisted these boys.
However, what is most impressive is that the game is now available for purchase via STEAM, iOS or Android. Even more so is that money raised from these sales will go to Project Kindness, a charity well known in the Cranbrook community aimed at giving food, warmth, stability, hope and kindness to Sydney’s most vulnerable.
Well done team.
Reporting feedback on assessments
As shared previously, Cranbrook utilises Canvas as our Learning Management System (LMS) to support your child’s educational journey. Canvas enables us to provide continuous reporting, allowing your students to access and reflect on teacher feedback.
Allowing parents to be observers of their students in Canvas reporting means you can track your child’s achievements, identify areas for growth, and engage in meaningful conversations about their learning as it happens.
To help you make the most of Canvas, we have prepared resources to support your access and navigation of the platform. You can access Canvas HERE. For first-time users, you will need to select ‘Forgot Password’. We have created this guide to help you. Our comprehensive ‘Canvas for Parents’ training site offers detailed information about how to access teacher feedback.
Should you require additional support, please don’t hesitate to contact us at digilit@cranbrook.nsw.edu.au
