Final Project Showcasing
Receive these gifts which you have moved us to make, as now we dedicate them to you; that they, with us your people, may glorify you and make your name be praised.
We dedicate ourselves to your service, that our worship may be not only in word, but our whole lives, renewed in worship, may be living testimony to your love for the world, and your gift to the world of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, in whose name we make our prayer.
And to you our God, Creator, Saviour and Holy Spirit, be all praise, glory and dominion and power, now and for ever.
(Hugh Cross, c All Year Round (1996), The Council of Churches for Britain and Ireland)
Project Showcase
- Get everyone into the rows, make sure each row has 3-5 projects.
- Allow 20 minutes to have each row show-off to each other with the goal of each row coming up with the best from the row to present to the full class.
- Spend 3-5 minutes on each of the 5-6 top projects from the row showing off in the front of the class.
- Take a vote for what project was the best out of all of them.
- Eat donuts, brownie, Brazilian cheese rolls…?
In the realm of code, where logic doth reign,
Python projects hold a noble, lofty aim,
Where students strive, their knowledge to attain,
Their skills evolving, rising to acclaim.
Upon a screen of text and lines of code,
They craft their programs with creative flair,
With every loop, a problem’s path is trode,
With every function, a solution fair.
Oh, wondrous is the syntax, clear and neat,
As algorithms dance in orderly array,
And students, with each problem they defeat,
Gain mastery, their skills in bright display.
In every project, a lesson to be learned,
In every bug, a puzzle to unfold,
In every program, a concept is discerned,
A journey of discovery, manifold.
So let us raise a toast to Python’s might,
To student projects, bold and full of zest,
For in their code, we see a future bright,
And in their code, we find our skills are best.
