Y6 Anderson STEM

Once a fortnight the girls in Gioia House participate in a STEM lesson, led by our Leader of Learning Technology P-6, Alana Ivancsik. So far this term the students have explored what makes a good game and have critiqued a variety of online games based on their design, special effects, level of difficulty, storyline or animation, instructions on how to play the game and enjoyment, to name a few.

Currently, Year 6 are designing and making their own digital game that will be able to be played online. In groups of four across two classes and with a theme of ‘Stars’, the girls need to ensure their game is a clicker, chase or pong game. Once their games are finalised, they will be entered into the Australian STEM Video Game Challenge. We cannot wait to trial the finished products!
