Cascade Ridge PTSA is bringing two programs to our students this winter that will require a unique registration process. Our before/after school programs are expected to be extremely popular and as a result, we will pre-register students starting at 9:00am on Tuesday, December 10, 2013 and closing Sunday, December 15 at 3:00pm. Once you have pre-registered, participant names will be drawn at random and you will be notified of your child’s status Monday, December 16. If your child is selected to attend, you will be given directions on how to complete registration and pay for the class. This ensures that each student has an equal opportunity for each program. For program details, see below. Questions? Please contact Kelly Huber at kellyahuber@aol.com.
KODU GAME LABPre-register
In the Techventure Kid's 3D Game Design class, we focus on game design and programming. Using Microsoft's Kodu Game Lab (http://kodugamelab.com), kids build games with a simple visual programming language, similar to Scratch. However, unlike Scratch, Kodu is 3D so you can use it to make elaborate landscapes and more complicated games. While designing games, students develop their skills in critical thinking, math, game design and problem-solving. Click here for more info.
