Web Design Club Update – November
The Web Design Club has had an exciting month filled with creativity and learning! Every Monday from 3:20 PM to 4:20 PM, students gather to explore the art of building websites from scratch. So far, members have mastered the basics of HTML and CSS, equipping them to create functional and visually appealing web pages.
Looking ahead, they will dive deeper into CSS with topics like animations, layouts, and responsive design. In addition to regular meetings, we are excited to announce that the club will participate in an upcoming hackathon! This will be a fantastic opportunity for members to apply their skills in a fun, competitive environment, work as a team, and develop real-world projects under time pressure.
Whether you’re new to coding or have prior experience, the Web Design Club offers something for everyone. Join us and be part of the journey—new members are always welcome!
Last Friday, 7th grade students presented skits for their Interdisciplinary Unit. Building on knowledge and skills gained in Spanish and Performing Arts classes, students examined how to communicate without words. The skits acted out how to communicate without sharing a language. Interdisciplinary Units are an important part of the IB MYP. They ask students to bring knowledge from at least 2 subject areas to solve real world problems.
