GATE: Gifted and Talented EducationTrack F-3 Descriptions
Full Stack Web App Fun
Modern websites are comprised of many technologies. Frontend that gets displayed to users, databases that store data, and backend that bring it all together. We will explore all these disciplines and how they interact with each other.
Students will experiment with template projects that will focus on various aspects of the stack. We will read/write from a SQL database, process requests in a NodeJS backend, and send/receive requests from a website.
Day #1: Frontend technologies overview (javascript, css, html)
Day #2: Javascript on the backend, integrating frontend with backend
Day #3: Databases, bring it all together (Frontend, backend, database)
Wizards, Warriors, and Dragons
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go on your very own Hero’s Journey in a mystical and wondrous land? During our time together students will follow a story and create unique details to build amazing art pieces off of, giving a physical representation of their amazing adventure. Students will learn about various mythological aspects, have guided demonstrations, discuss ideas, see images representing themes, practice new mediums, and explain their thinking. All this will lead into students taking their experience and knowledge gained and applying it to not creating a final product. So get your pen and shield ready, your about to embark on an ART adventure!
