Computers are central to all aspects of life these days. Many people spend almost their entire day on computers, both for working, and leisure time. If computers disappeared tomorrow, it's not an exaggeration to say that the world's economy would nose-dive. Computers are vital in our modern age.
It's therefore equally vital that our students understand how to use them and can navigate through an increasingly computerized world. We can help with this goal by having our students complete computer projects. Here are some ideas for middle school computer projects you can try.
Sports Spreadsheet
Spreadsheets are among the most useful pieces of software on a computer, yet most people don't know how to use them effectively. While you can teach an entire course on how to use spreadsheets, a more active and fun approach is to have students figure it out themselves as they attempt to complete a goal.
One possible goal that they can complete is to create a spreadsheet summarizing what is happening in their favorite sport. These spreadsheets can be simple or highly sophisticated. They can include merely scores and results, or they can include player statistics. They can do simple calculations, or they can include league tables where teams sort themselves into rankings with the press of a button. How advanced a goal you give students will depend on their knowledge and capabilities, but such a project can take up as much time as you want it to.
Computer Building Project
It is highly valuable for people in the modern world to know how the basic components that make up a computer work. What's the difference between hard disk space and memory? What exactly is a CPU or a GPU? These things can be taught through lectures, but it is perhaps more effective to have students learn in a hands-on way.
For this project, give students the computer parts needed to build a computer. Talk about the specs of the computer they will be building and what they mean. They can attach each component to the case; the power supply, the motherboard, the processor (including applying thermal paste), the graphics card, the hard drives, fans, and any or all peripherals. This needn't be expensive because you can provide students with old components to piece together. The computers can also be taken apart when students are done making this project ready for the next class. After this project, students will never look at a computer quite the same way again.
