Our ProgramPalm Digital as an offshoot of the Palm STEAM Academy, offers enrichment classes and clubs dedicated to giving students at Palm Middle School an opportunity to create original websites, mobile apps, games, and digital art.
When students create their own content through digital art and computer programming, they develop thinking skills and perseverance. They experience what Seymour Papert, the inventor of the Logo programming language, has termed "hard fun"; that is, the mastery of what doesn't come easily, acquiring habits of self-discipline in the process.
