Use your laptop to write some simple and visual code today during the Mini Lesson
We will use the browser for coding - no software needed. Chrome is preferred
Do our exercise in breakout rooms
Display our results to the class by sharing your screen
Brief Cascade intro and Bush Telescope live demonstration
Stay online for additional 15 minutes for questions from parents or guardians

We will draw dynamic shapes on a digital canvas such as lines and rectangles
A walkthrough of one example for the whole class
Start a P5JS Javascript web editor in the new tab created by clicking here. Please be patient, it might take a few seconds to open.
Breakout into multiple rooms for doing a coding exercise!
- Odd numbered teams Replace all code inside editor using code for “Dynamic sticks” linked here
- Even numbered teams Replace all code inside editor using code for “Dynamic rectangles” linked here
- Attempt to make at least one small change “***AS DIRECTED IN ALL CAPS” inside the code. Press the Play button to see your changes!
Breakout to work on code for 10 minutes using instructions above. Rooms will close automatically at the end. If you do not finish, no issues! You can do so after today’s session by using the same links.
When time is up select one team member to display results of your team to the class! Click here if you need help with Sharing your Browser window.
One solution to each example can be found here. Only look here after you have attempted it within your team!

The Bush Cascade program is a 3-week experiential and immersion program on a interdisciplinary course of study.
They are held 2 times a year at the end of Fall and Spring semesters in January and May. They are open to all Upper School students.
Some Cascades are local to Seattle and others might involve travel to other locations inside and outside Washington State including some international locations!
They could involve engaging with the Bush and Seattle communities with a goal to learn help and support.
Previous Cascades included diverse subjects such as:
- The Science of Food and Cooking
- Seattle Traffic Patterns
- Medical Physics
- Music and Radio Production
- Interactive Thearter for Social Change
- Morocco Cultural Immersion
- Cultural Journey through the American South
