Student Projects


Rock Paper Scissors

In the first week of camp, students created and deployed a "Rock Paper Scissors" game. They found many creative ways to inject their own personalities and humor into these projects.

Show and Tell

In weeks 2 and 3, students developed "Show and Tell" sites about topics of personal interest. They started with mobile sites and then used the Foundation framework to add features and make the sites responsive to different screen sizes.
