Welcome to Day 3 of Java Script Camp!
This morning the students began with a review from last class to clear up any questions they had and to make sure it is understood what is being taught. Afterwords, students who needed more time from yesterday finished up their work on variables and animation, while others began to work on Texts & Strings. Texts & Strings allow students to display text on the canvas, resize, colour, and animate.

Examples of Challenges & Projects
After lunch and due to the fact the weather did not permit for time spent at the park, the students took their free time activities inside. I introduced the students to brain gym, an interactive exercise video that students can follow along and move around. Here is an example of a video displaying this.
Guest Speaker & Presentations
In the afternoon the students were introduced to a guest speaker; Rodrigo! Rodrigo is an undergraduate software engineering student at Carleton University. Rodrigo gave a talk about Java Script, his experiences in his university java classes, and the importance of Java in the future for technology and jobs. The students then gave presentations to Rodrigo to display their work thus far.
