Bonjour tout le monde, it seems as though another year of PLP has flown by and it is time for yet another tPOL. As with most PLP work there is a driving question that I must answer in this post, and that question is: Why do you feel like you are ready to advance to […]

DI But Not Really
Hey guys, unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few months you probably know about the global pandemic going on. Almost everything that isn’t essential has been shut down, sadly that included the DI provincial tournament.

Morals of the Past
Hey guys, for the last little bit our class has been learning about Canadian history such as how we came to Confederation in our last project.

Making Machines
Hey guys, for the last couple of weeks we’ve been working on a new project in scimatics called Metaphor Machines.

Animation Mania
Hey guys, as many of you know the PLP Winter Exhibition is coming up and as always we had to create many different things for Maker and Humanities. But this year we were also tasked with creating an animation showing how elements bond and create compounds for Scimatics. To create this animation we had to […]
‘Tis The Season For Reflection
Hey guys, this is the final week of the SBC which means it’s time to reflect on everything we did these last seven weeks. However, before I even started to reflect on my actual posts I completed a survey that helped me reflect on the whole challenge. The survey asked questions like: how would I […]
