Guest Speaker Make School Artifact Summary:

Assignment Name: Guest Speaker Make School Presentation

Date: April 26th, 2017

Topic/Concept: The company Make School comes in to discuss about more coding opportunities with the class, and a little dive into one of their programs

Learning Objective: The objective is for students to familiarize with Make School's many opportunities and programs over the summer and around the country

Assignment Description:

The class had the huge honor of having representatives from Make School come and introduce their company to us while teaching us a few new things about coding. Make School teaches people of all ages about how important coding is and they have many different summer programs to teach people how to code in many different programming languages. When they came to class as a guest speaker, they described their summer programs that are located around the world, and they allowed us to sample their Hour of Code activity. The activity involved us making a game very similar to Pokemon, but we designed it ourselves using functions and variables. I felt that this was a great experience, as it allowed me to see one way to get really involved in coding, and I learned more about how functions are applied to games and other programs.
