Student Showcase
Each school year at Franklin ends with a showcase of student work, presented by our students throughout our school.
The theme for our second Franklin Showcase was centered around transdisciplinary and applied learning. We invited our school community and local prospective families to our campus to learn more about Franklin’s innovative curriculum. This student-led event wraps up a year of hard work and dedication.
Highlights
AI Arcade
Students recreated a retro video game with a twist — integrating Artificial Intelligence to assist in the coding and development process. The aim was to understand how AI can streamline game development and enhance the creative aspects of coding.
Capstone Projects
The Franklin Capstone Project is designed to highlight the personal interest areas, skill sets, and knowledge developed throughout a student’s high school years. It encapsulates the integration of acquired knowledge with real-world systems and applications.
Studio Franklin - Podcasting
The cycle of learning and sharing continued through media at “Studio Franklin,” a podcast studio where students held intimate conversations with participants, allowing even the youngest participants to share what they had experienced around the Showcase — just as the students had shared with them! This after our students had used podcasting as a tool to enrich their transdisciplinary learning throughout the year.
“The podcast equipment was introduced quite recently, and it’s great, as it's a different way of understanding a topic. We were studying the Civil War in World History, and we were able to present our final work as a podcast on the Civil War.” Grade 10 student
