B6: Assessment - Designing Solutions for the Home

Description

Level B, Lesson 6: In this lesson, students will work in small groups, using Dash to solve a problem at home. Students will use the Design Thinking Process to identify a problem and possible solution(s). Then they will plan an attachment for Dash, along with an algorithm.

Objectives

• Demonstrate and use the coding concepts introduced in Level B to program a set of instructions for Dash to follow. These concepts would include: sequences, loops, and events.
• Assign specific parameters to different coding blocks such as drive and repeat blocks.
• Learn about the beginning steps of the Design Thinking Process: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Build, and Improve.
• Confirm understanding of discussion by asking and answering questions.
• Draw an attachment for Dash.
• Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to narrate a single event.
• Follow agreed-upon rules during group discussions.
• Explain ideas to peers and teacher audibly and clearly with guidance and support from teacher to improve their initial designs.
