RPSD Sixth Graders Chosen As Finalists in International Tech Competition

Rocky Point Middle School sixth-graders Shea Bennett, Katie McDonald and Cassidy Sander were selected as one of seven international finalists in Next Vista for Learning’s Cool Insights video contest. 

The contest is designed to inspire students to use creativity to create a video that helps teach an educational concept a student might encounter while in school. 

The students’ created an original video called, “Slave Quilt Meanings,” as part of a larger project that involved all Technology Club students researching and sharing findings about the Civil War via scannable QR codes. 

The entire video was created and edited at the end of last year with the help of the Technology Club and Laurie Varriale, teacher from Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School.
