Braden Santiano asked the Exploring Computer Science, Help Desk, and Intro to Game Design classes to participate in this year’s STEM Spectacular. We’ve spent the past week or so putting together presentations and activities for the event. Here are the presentations we have made for the day. We’re looking forward to a fun day filled with learning!
