Mike Borrall

Borrall’s innovative teaching idea, “Haunted Hallways,” is a computer science project focused on creating 3D printed models to build a haunted house in the school. Students will bring these models to life through unique and advanced computer software, engineering realistic design parts and adding special effects to enhance the “haunted” aspect of the house. In addition to this, students will also create and present green screen animations throughout the house. The utilization of computer science and digital production skills benefits students because it challenges them to think critically to solve problems and to overcome obstacles. Borrall is confident that as students watch their code come to life, they while learn vital 21st century STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) skills, while developing a lifelong love of computer science.
