Malaysia Talent Show

/

In what promises to be an annual tradition, the inaugural ICE Talent Show benefitting the Malaysia trip was well-attended and a resounding success.

Drama, magic, bands, a cappella singers, gymnastics, dancing, standup comedy, lip syncing, and lots of singers … who knew the depth and range of ICE student talent?   Performers’ ability to work through some technical issues without loss of composure demonstrated the confidence our students possess.

Ashley and Tatiana did a fine job of emceeing, as did Athena and Tatiana in an impromptu song from their Subway Moon work.  Proceeds benefit the Malaysia trip.

Girls Who Code Club

/

High school Girls Who Code (GWC) will be starting up this month!  If you have a daughter who is interested and who did not sign up last week, please pass the link Girls Who Code Sign Up Form on to her

This year, Kevin from BuzzFeed returns as our instructor as we work in small groups to learn, hack, and build.  The ICE community will also be invited to check out our work at an ICE-style Maker Faire in June.  Coders at all levels are welcome!

We do not currently have a middle school Girls Who Code club, but if your 6-8th grade daughter is interested, she could complete the form too.  If we have enough interest, we may be able to start a middle school GWC club!

For those who weren’t at Town Meeting before the break, here are the links to four hysterical videos on why girls can’t/don’t/won’t code … GWC 1, GWC 2, GWC 3, GWC 4
