In 6th grade Social Studies, students recently completed an
interdisciplinary project that involved both computer science skills and Social Studies research. For the project, students used Scratch, a coding platform, to create interactive digital exhibits on different hominins. The project culminated
in a showcase called the
RAUC Museum of Human Origins. A special thanks to many of you who came to see the exhibits and our amazing Social Studies teachers Ms. Saillant and Ms. Lexie (student teacher)
and Library and Technology teacher Ms. M for making this interdisciplinary project possible! Check out some photos below!
