Tech Challenge Wednesday 18th Block 5!!!!

Dear Grade 6-10 Students,

Technology Challenge is upon us again! Tech Challenge is about championing the model of Design Thinking that we at NIS keenly promote. At the end of lunchtime Wednesday students should store bags in lockers and then line up outside the library foyer in single file lines (note change in meeting point). ‘Teachers in charge’ will take you straight to your activity area, divide you up into houses and explain your activities. House points go to the most successful competitors! Wear your house t-shirt!

Good luck and see you then!

Is your ManageBac up to date?

Remember you need one Service as Action experience and one Volunteering experience this semester. So what have you done so far? Have your filled out your MB?

 

We’ve made things simpler for you in grades 6-9:

In the description box, simply tell us what you DID for the experience and include your SMART goal.

In reflection, simply tell us what you LEARNED and attach a photo (with you in it). This is where you have the chance to explain how you achieved your Learning Outcome and SMART goal.

 

Need help? You can always ask your awesome Advisory Teacher  or stop by to see me.
