TSA Students Create Video Games in Q3 Elective
Elective classes meet for one hour and forty five minutes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at TSA High School. The elective block allows students to explore interests that may not be covered in the core curriculum, to learn about a topic they may never have considered before, and to mix with different student groups. In addition, many members of our community – parents, alumni, and residents from surrounding towns – teach electives on topics about which they are passionate. Students benefit from a wide variety of expertise and experience, developing significant relationships outside of the TSA teacher community.
During the third quarter of the 2018-19 school year, Jeremy Thorne, alumni parent, frequent volunteer, and husband to math teacher Sandy Thorne, taught a programming elective for the fifth year in a row. Jeremy is a software engineer who enjoys sharing his passion for programming with TSA students. This course focuses on game development through the use of the programming language JavaScript. Jeremy and his students are proud to share their creations with the community and invite you to test drive the games. Visit the Software Development page.
