QATGC 2014 Challenges
This Challenge page is dedicated to the Gifted and Talented Children Workshops in July 2014.
From the information provided below, a group of Year 3-6 students will construct these 3D shapes using Logo programming language and write blogs to present their 3D virtual worlds.
Note: The time was too short in the workshop so this challange will keep going and open for publics.
