Guided Project (Age 11-14 Teams)

From Bold Idea Knowledgebase

Learning Objectives

With regard to executing a project, students can:

  • Improve a project by completing two iterations of the Project Development Process .
  • Effectively ideate with peers on how to solve a problem
  • Share their work and gather feedback

With regard to CS skills, students can:

  • Reduce redundancy by storing and manipulating information in variables
  • Use parameters to increase the usefulness of a function
  • Write code that executes in response to a UI event
  • Write code that executes based on a boolean condition
  • Write code that executes multiple times while changing state between iterations

Summary

During the guided project, students will be given a set of "requirements" to build a quiz game app. These requirements are meant to help students learn a set of fundamental coding concepts such as variables, events, etc.

Half-way through the project, students will be given a new set of requirements requiring them to learn more concepts, such as conditions, loops, and data storage.
