  A highlight for Eden last year was, most definitely, our participation our year (for the second year running) in the international robotics conference. What a great way to end the year and what an awesome benchmark to work off of for this one. In case you missed it here's a link to the article:

=__**Microsoft Programming Competition:**__=

Not sure if any of you entered this last year, but I think it's a great opportunity and should you wish we can add it to the list of extra credit this year. If case you've forgotten this year again - Microsoft is working in conjunction with NASA and have put together an awesome (and accessible) programming contest - the Imagine Cup.

You are required to create a game, narrative (story) or simulation using one of several Microsoft Coding Apps. The theme is inspired by the kinds of earth sciences NASA and other researchers do every day.

Here's the link if you're keen. Let me know if I can help in any way. Mr. J. Also, Shailen Jugthaw (Grade 11) has a solid knowledge using industry standard GAME DEV softwares and would also be a great resource.

=__**That said, welcome Grade 10's to 2017!!!**__=

And of course, a special welcome to Luca Crouse and Qhawa Zondo, joining us here at Eden College.

Yet another welcome is in order also - to the boys and girls at Northwood (Durban North), Brettonwood (Umbilo) and Vukuzakhe High (Umlazi). Here's hoping these tutorials for Netbeans and Scratch included in this wiki will help better your confidence in Information Technology. Please feel free to touch base with any of the learners registered to this wiki. This year however we move to Delphi and so I look forward to updating this space as we progress throughout the year.

Also check out a few of our video/ pivot animations on the grade 9 wiki:

Enjoy your time in Grade 10, an awesome foundation year. Everything of the very best to you all!!!!

And welcome once again...Mr. J
