Students:

Welcome to the Magnet MSCS BOSTON AWESOME student information page. Please visit often!

You are researchers and are conducting a team research project related to your field trip to Boston, Massachusetts.  All good research and researchers have a goal at the outset. However, roadblocks and dead ends do occur that will impact your research.

You and your research team must address and resolve research problems as they are encountered. Flexibility and the ability to modify your plan smoothly will enable your team to produce a solid research project.

We, your CS teachers, are confident that your team can navigate the roadblocks and dead ends which may occur during the research process.   Magnet CS 6 Applications and Magnet CS 7 Programming have equipped you with software skills, problem-solving techniques, and planning and logic abilities that will sustain you through this research project.

Sincerely,

Mr. Poker & Dr. Taliff
