Project gallery

What building, testing, and debugging look like.

The projects below come from the School of Code curriculum. Student work will only appear here when a student and parent choose to share it.

At the workbench

A program can be run. A circuit can be measured. A robot can refuse to turn, which is inconvenient and also useful.

Robotics Four children adjusting wires and sensors on a handmade wheeled robot.
Four students, one stubborn machine, and several theories about why it refuses to cooperate.
Testing Children testing small wheeled robots on a tabletop.
Run the route, watch where it turns, and revise the command that sent it astray.
Scratch Three children working together at a computer displaying a colourful block-based program.
A program is a text, and the student is its author.
Electronics Relay, test leads, and a container apparatus on a workbench.
Testing the wiring before blaming the program.
Adjustment A child adjusting the wires on a small tabletop robot.
One loose connection can explain a very dramatic failure.
Game design A child testing a Scratch project on a laptop.
The first working version is where the interesting questions begin.
Workspace A compact room with several computer workstations.
A small setup is enough when the work has a clear purpose.

Future student entries

Show the work and enough context to understand it.

  • Project title and short mission
  • Program and topic tags
  • Tool or hardware used
  • One system the student changed
  • One bug or test worth explaining
  • An approved image, video, or link

Privacy principles

Sharing is optional and deliberate.

Minimal identity

Use a first name or nickname only. A shared project does not need a full legal name, school, or personal contact information.

Images require permission

No identifiable photo without explicit parent permission. A screenshot or project-only image may often explain the work better.

Parents approve posting

A gallery entry requires parent permission and a review of what the linked project file reveals.

Students can decline

A direct in-class or family demonstration can complete the learning cycle without any gallery entry.
