  • Pixel selfie - Okay, so we don’t all have a flash camera. Colour in the squares to show what a pixelated photo of yourself would look like! Do you think you could recognise yourself?


  • Design your own denim jacket - Personalise your denim jacket with colours, patches, patterns and text to represent you!


  • Goal setting - Aim high this year and set yourself some challenging, but achievable goals. Set two personal and two academic goals and outline how you will work towards achieving them.


  • Holiday storyboard - What adventures did you get up to over the holidays? Did you have some exciting moments or a series of unfortunate events? Draw or describe a moment, then show what happened 10 seconds before and after it!


  • Design an app - What problem could be easily be solved with the swipe of a screen and push of a button? Find a solution for your target audience then design an easy-to-use UI (user interface) for your app!


  • Create a character - Time to head to the character selection screen! Turn yourself into a character for an adventure video game. What are your character’s special abilities and what are their secret weaknesses?


  • My sphere - Where do you sit in this big-little world? Who are the people who influence you and, in turn, you influence back? Write their names in the appropriate circle.


  • Invent a game - You make the rules! Invent a game that could be played with your classmates, complete with an equipment list and diagram of how it works!


  • Encode it - Can you speak the language of computers? In this task, you will need to write a message to a buddy BUT you may only use two symbols: 0 and 1.


  • Message to the world - This is your chance to speak up! What message do you think the world needs to hear? S-t-r-e-t-c-h out your text to touch the lines.
