Fall 2025-26 Technology Recap
Mr. Tellez’s Technology classes have been hard at work in the first semester of the 2025-26 school year gaining hands-on experience through coding, game design, app development, and digital art. In Intro to Technology, freshmen created their own video games using the JavaScript programming language. They learned to create and control sprites, apply conditionals and variables, and program sprite movement, providing our Ritamen with the opportunity to practice solving problems and express creativity. In Computer Science, sophomores, juniors, and seniors developed their own app using the JavaScript language. They practiced using key coding skills such as loops, functions, lists, and more. Finally, sophomores, juniors, and seniors in Graphic Design created original artwork to showcase their creativity.
Check out our Ritamen’s work from the first semester of the 2025-26 school year below:
