EAST NEWS EAST held its first annual EAST Night Out on Thursday, November 3. There were almost 200 people in attendance. Students presented software they had been using, as well as community projects they are ready to begin. The big hits of the night were the virtual reality of the Oculus Rift and the Ultimaker 3D printer.
Mr. Hodges tries out a game on the Oculus Rift while Fischer Hodges, Paige Peters, Alan Selvidge, and Eliana Oden look on. The game was coded in Unity software by students then converted to Oculus
Students in 7th grade Keycode recently composed and mailed letters to a favorite celebrity. Madison Alverson wrote a letter to Steve Spangler, a recurring guest on the Ellen show who teaches science. Mr. Spangler was so excited to hear from Madison that he called the school to thank her and sent her a box of goodies! Way to go Madison!
