Description

Level C, Lesson 6: In this lesson, students will work in small groups, using Dash to solve a classroom problem. Students will use the Design Thinking Process to identify a problem and possible solutions. Then they will plan, build, and test a solution to the problem.

Objectives

• Demonstrate and use the coding concepts introduced in Level C to program a set of instructions for Dash to follow. These concepts include sequences with complex parameters, multiple loops, and event handlers.
• Determine and/or clarify the meaning of terminology related to coding and design.
• Apply the steps of the Design Thinking Process to construct a new accessory for Dash.
• Document the Design Thinking Process in their Design Thinking Workbook.
