Students in Mr. Braithwaite’s Exploring Technology classes have been busy using their creativity and problem-solving skills to design and build their own game boards. Students applied hands-on learning as they brainstormed designs, rules, and playability, ensuring their games were both fun and functional. The classroom has been filled with excitement as ideas come to life and classmates test each other’s creations.
