Team SISD’s Operation Future Ready
Operation Future Ready is Team SISD’s commitment to ensure the district remains at the forefront of
21st century education and the conversion to digital learning. It is more than a technology initiative—
it is about a hands-on approach to the teaching and learning process that will provide students with
the skills needed to be globally competitive. Through Operation Future Ready, which is aligned to the
federal ConnectED initiative, Team SISD is investing in technology to advance teaching and learning,
fully training educators to utilize new resources, and offering more technological devices for student
use.
Socorro ISD’s Student Technology Showcase is designed to provide our students the opportunity to
exhibit student-driven projects through technology. The showcase supports SISD's Future Ready
commitment in ensuring the district remains at the forefront of 21st Century education. Students are
afforded the opportunity to leverage technology, interact with technology, as well as design and
communicate their learning perspectives in the global world of technology.

Sphero Maze Challenge
• For WIN campuses only
CALLING ALL WIN STUDENTS!!!
Scenario: El Paso tax payers have just approved the creation
of a new, state-of-art amusement park located at the city’s
Far East side! To make the amusement park more authentic
and a true staple in the El Paso area, the city is calling upon
students from local school districts to create and showcase
their plans for the new amusement park. Students wishing to
participate will organize a City Planning Management Team
and must work in teams of three to five individuals. Teams
with more than five will not be allowed to participate.
El Paso is calling upon the wonder, innovation and creativity of students to create an amusement
park that will appeal to ALL ages!
Task:
Each City Planning Management Team will need to create an amusement park within a challenge
course with the dimensions of 4 ft. X 8 ft. The course must showcase the amusement park either with
3D structures or the course can be one-dimensional. The course, however, must include under, over
and through paths (for example, a bridge, roller coaster, tunnel, other ride, etc.) Students can use
recycled or purchased materials to create the course. The Sphero must travel through the course
within 2 minutes. Therefore, each course must have a start and end point. The City Planning
Management Team will program the Sphero to navigate through the course using block code. The
team will record and narrate their state-of-art amusement park design to highlight the various
features. Teams will provide an unedited video of the narrated showcase of Sphero going through
their amusement park course design.
A team from each grade level from each campus may enter the competition. For example, Purple
Heart Elementary may enter two teams into the district competition: a 4th and 5th grade team. If the
campus has multiple teams in one grade level who want to participate, the campus will need to
choose their top course and presentation to move forward to the district competition.
The team will need to record their presentation and upload their recording in the following folder:
Sphero Maze Challenge 2018-2019
Video submissions due on February 1, 2019 by 5:00 p.m.
The top two submissions for elementary and secondary campuses will be notified by February 15,
2019 and will receive a special invite to showcase their Sphero course at the showcase. Teams will
need to set up their course at the District Service Center on February 28, 2019 from 4:00 p.m. – 5:30
p.m. Teams will be provided a designated time when they will present their 2-minute presentation to
judges at the showcase. The final ranking will be announced at the award’s assembly.
