Of course it would be great if one of them won, but they will all remember the project for the rest of their lives. They will remember that you set a challenge (not a simple task) before them, believed they could do it, and walked with them to the end. Bravo!

Thanks, everyone.
Yes – it is the journey that they will remember. But still, it would be cool if one of them won.

Very cool Kevin! Keeping my fingers crossed, but I do agree with Ruth above that winning would be gravy. The prize was the accomplishment of creating the games and having the confidence to submit them.

What a gift you have given your students – starting them down the road of independent thinkers and problem solvers. Kudos to you and to all of them!

I’m proud of them and you
Did you see that the NWP got 11.3 million in STEM? Funding. But there’s strings attached, of course.

What lucky kids to have you as a teacher. Winning will just be gravy. You have given them the gift of confidence. The confidence to follow a dream. Congratulations. I enjoy your slices. I have read your other posts for a long time.

What an accomplishment! I wish my sons, especially my younger one, who i am convinced needs to go to rehab for his Xbox addiction, had had teachers like you, who integrate kids’ out of school lives and passion with what goes on inside the classroom. Can’t wait to hear how they do!
