Welcome to Mr. Martin's Class Website
Welcome to the MYP Design Classroom website. In the MYP Design we will be using inquiry driven units in order to explore various aspects and fields of design. Students will engage in hands on projects focused on soving real world problems, while using all their academic tools in a techonology focused setting.

Oncourse classroom- Tangipahoa Parish School Systems is investing in a new program oncourse classroom. Assignements and test will be made available and submitted via techonology. All of our end of the year tests are computerized so we are making every effort to ensure our students are comfortable with testing on a computer. Expect all common assessment exams to be given using oncourse classroom.
8th grade community projects- Part of our IB school is the 8th grade community projects. 8th graders will work independently or in groups of up to three in order to address a problem of our community and ways to solve it. This is an incredible oppurtunity for students as they will learn the amount of impact they can make on their community if they use everything they have learned as an IB student. Last year one group collected a litteral ton of food(when donating food it is counted by wieght) for homeless in our community. Below is the community project guidlines. ***All 8th grade students are required to complete a community project in order to complete the MYP coursework.
“The goal of a designer is to listen, observe, understand, sympathize, empathize, synthesize, and glean insights that enable him or her to ‘make the invisible visible.’ –Hillman Curtis
“Where do new ideas come from? The answer is simple: differences. Creativity comes from unlikely juxtapositions.” –Nicholas Negroponte
