We will attempt to disrupt the age old diorama with elements of the ADST curriculum. With the use of littleBits you can infuse electronics, block programming, and the design cycle quickly and easily into this classic project.
As you work through this module we'll review all 4 elements of computational thinking (Decomposition, Pattern Recognition, Abstraction, Algorithms) while placing an emphasis on Decomposition as we integrate principles of the maker movement/STEM into dioramas.
Decomposition in Everyday Life
Decomposition in Everyday Life
Preparing the cake requires you to buy ingredients, make the cake, then frost it. You do similar decomposition for preparing snacks and games.
Decompose the project into parts such as the questions, the artwork for the background and the score.
Understanding how a bicycle works is more straightforward if the whole bike is separated into smaller parts and each part is examined to see how it works in more detail.
