Chapter 4: Part 1
The Design-Build-Test Cycle
Icebreaker: What is your favorite Tradition or Holiday?
Agenda:
Key Vocabulary:
Brainstorming: A way of working as a group to think up creative solutions to big problems. In a brainstorming session, there are no bad ideas!
Design-Build-Test Cycle: In the Design-Build-Test Cycle, you design something, Build it so that it works, test it out, and then use what you've learned to make the design better. Since it's a cycle, you keep doing it until you're happy with what you've made.
Read and Reflect:
You may answer these questions in the comment section below:
1. Choose something you like to do. What would make that thing better?
2. Think of a project you've worked on before. It can be something you do at school, or at home, or for an extracurricular activity! How could you break that project down into a "Design, Build, Test" Cycle?
3. On page 63, it says that brainstorming is "not a time to be self-conscious or worry about whether or not an idea is good." Sometimes, that can be really tough! What are things you can do while brainstorming to help yourself or others be brave and overcome that fear?
