Over the past few years, Beck has looked at the Ron Clark Academy as a model school. We have closely observed the student/ teacher interactions and the overall level of student engagement to determine what aspects of this highly affective school could be brought back to Beck. One of these aspects is the idea of 'No Hand Raising'.

This classroom management expectation is taught to students so that everyone has the same opportunity to engage in the conversation. Students can't speak a second time before everyone in the class has had a chance to speak. This ensures that students are mindful of what they are adding to the class discussion and giving everyone an opportunity to speak.

Our project is a robotic arm attached to a chessboard that allows a human to play against a chess bot controlling the arm in a physical match. This is most certainly a passion project, and it was through the lessons learned in V.R. Eaton High School’s computer science classes and Reach Robotics Club, which all 3 of us are students in, that we were able to create the bot. Our computer science classes taught us not only how to code the bot but the problem-solving skills necessary for solving a variety of issues we ran into during construction, our robotics club taught us various lessons in the design process and the construction of complex machines like our arm.
Wheels are not the only things that roll. Cups also roll. You will each get one large and one small cup to see how they roll. Review how to set up ramps. Pretend that your cup is a car. You want to park your car in the parking garage under your ramp. Try to make your cup roll off the ramp and end up parked under the ramp.
This project is meant to improve my coding knowledge and experience. It's a fairly simple py game that's meant to be an rpg where you upgrade your character to fight foes that continually become more powerful, The context being to make a balanced and fun game, and the tool being a website called replit. Computer science 1 and 2 have helped reinforce my coding knowledge and allowed me to work in a more realistic coding environment, helping me further my coding prowess.
