Students in the school district of Waukesha have a unique opportunity to enroll in courses to study app development. In these courses, students learn how to create apps for Apple devices using the Swift programming languages. Throughout the courses, students learn how to create apps such as a tip calculator, "rock, paper, scissors", an assignment notebook, a game called "Ninja Hi-ya!". Additionally, students have the opportunity to dive into their own interests with a research-based project as well as a build-your-own app challenge.
Many students from Waukesha North chose to enter this contest and ended with some very impressive results. Aaron Still and Ben Amiel took first place in the contest with their screencast video on "Sprite Kit". This first place finish will entitle Aaron and Ben to a t-shirt, an iTunes gift card, as well as an hour of mentorship with a programming professional in the field. Additionally, the teams of Matthew Kotras and David Larsen, Abby Hollis and Stormy Cook, and Eric Burns and Jordan Rosado were named "Top Honors". The teams of Kieira Brown and Carter Camacho, Julio Leal and Allejandro Gallegos and Jacob Catura and Ezequiel Rodela were named "Honorable Mention". Please join me in congratulating our app developers on a job well done!
