Westmount Public School has kicked off their apps4learning project with high school students from Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate & Vocational School (KCI)!

Students in Mr. Lloyd’s Grade 5/6 class came up with app ideas to better help students understand certain concepts that are difficult in school. They met with Mr. Papoutsis’ computer class from KCI and presented the storyboards they created. From there, the KCI students will develop the app in close consultation with the Westmount PS students and create a suite of products. Can an app that has students throwing cheese at aliens teach them more about math? Who knows! But the students at Westmount PS think it will and are giving it a try!

We APPreciate the effort, Wildcats!
