Spring 2014 SciFair - Virtual World Showcase




On April 24th some of the students in the A-3 program participated in the 2014 Spring SciFair Showcase at the Wings of Eagles Museum in Elmira and were featured in the Corning Leader.  Here is the link to view the article online.  Steven Conklin, Hadden Crawford, Dakota Root,  JC Seymour, Bethany Windows and Jordyn Agapito did a wonderful job of presenting their virtual world which was based on the book “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins.  Chasetin Crane, Alexis Padgett, Abriana Frawley-Corwin were also involved in creating the world but were unable to attend the showcase. Some of the students were uncomfortable getting up in front of an audience but they did it anyway and they did it well.  I would like to thank Ann Marie Tuscany and Jahn Greenfield for their effort in making this experience a fun and successful one for the students.     I am very proud of what all of them accomplished and how they worked together and taught each other and me, and of course, of what they learned while working on this project.
