Solve cool problems and make cool things!
LPS Secondary Computer Science classrooms are active places that encourage exploration, creativity, collaboration, communication, persistence, and problem solving. We want to spark students’ curiosity about what can be created with various technology tools. We build creative confidence!
Projects: Provide students with opportunities to work on meaningful projects (not just puzzle-solving activities) so they experience the process of turning an initial idea into a creation that can be shared with others.
Peers: Encourage collaboration and sharing, and help students learn to build on the work of others. Coding shouldn’t be a solitary activity.
Passion: Allow students to work on projects connected to their interests. They’ll work longer and harder — and learn more in the process.
Play: Encourage students to experiment playfully — try new things, take risks, test the boundaries, learn from failures.
