Hansens Classes

Welcome to the 2019-2020 Schoolyear!

Welcome to S2!! This semester moves VERY quickly! January brings a host of fun events. First is the team selections for Code Quest at Lockheed Martin. Columbine will send both an Advanced and Novice Team. Secondly, the ten-member First Robotics is well underway meeting MTTh from 5-8 and 9-4 on Saturdays before competitions on:

• Feb 22 - Scrimmage at Coronado High School
• March 20-21 - Colorado Regional competition at DU. We are aiming at being the Rookie All Star team and
• April 15-18 - World Competition in Houston if we make it but VERY competitive

APCSP had a blast attending JEFFCON. Students who have mastered these skills hold some of the utmost tech savvy intelligence minds on campus. I'm so proud of what you've created so far! I can't wait to see your new sites, photocomps, animations, drawing designs and digital sound creations!

See Juli Thomas in the library for more information. Mr Varney's eSports Club is already competing on the second game: Rocket League) at Ace Room. See Tommy Phan or go to the Ace Room after school, Tuesdays for competition days. Digital Music Club will resume when Robotics ends as they were being held at competing times.

If you are in a Design class, your class fee allows you to signin to Creative Cloud from Home (NOTE: must be a full computer; does not work on chromebooks). Wanna do 3d?? Check out FREE blender & the tutorial. Many students are using this technology to compliment their Unity Game Designs. Though most students use this platform for game development, the program also features many architecture and engineering functions, much more complex than SketchUp students used in Middle School.
