Year 6 STEM

During Term 2, and the beginning of Term 3, the Year 6 students participated in rigorous STEM lessons, under the guidance of Mrs Ivancsik – Leader of Learning Technology P-6. During the course of their learning, students worked through the design thinking process comprising five phases: empathise, define, ideate, prototype and test. Throughout this learning experience, students were provided with opportunities to work in groups to design and code an online video game to meet the needs of their target audience. After working to code their games, students had the opportunity to review others games and provide constructive feedback. This experience enabled the students to acquire essential programming skills necessary for future learning.
