At Saklan, student leadership and curiosity go hand in hand—and nowhere is that more evident than in our student-run SIGMA Club. Created by students for students, SIGMA (Science, Innovation, Game development, Math, Activities) is all about exploring new ideas and engaging in hands-on learning in a fun, supportive environment.
For their first club meeting, Benji and Leo took the lead with a creative focus on Scratch coding. They introduced students to the basics of programming by guiding them through the process of creating a simple Ping-Pong game. With Chromebooks in hand, each student had the chance to build their game from scratch, learning fundamental coding skills step-by-step.
But the fun didn’t stop there—once their games were up and running, students spent time customizing and decorating their projects, adding personal flair and experimenting with game mechanics. From changing backgrounds to adding new features, they discovered just how flexible and exciting coding can be.
By the end of the session, students walked away not only with a game they had built themselves but also with a stronger understanding of what coding is like and the endless possibilities it offers.
We’re incredibly proud of Benji and Leo for sharing their knowledge and leading such an engaging, hands-on learning experience for their peers. Their enthusiasm and leadership set the tone for what SIGMA Club is all about—student-driven curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.
Next Meeting
The next SIGMA Club meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 13th, from 3:10–4:00 p.m. We can’t wait to see what exciting ideas our student leaders will dive into next as they continue to explore, create, and inspire!
