Paper Boats &
Problem Solving

Computer Science, and most engineering fields, are about problem solving. You have a goal, and your aim is to solve it. We're going to do a bit of that this week as we approach the start of our project.

Start a New .md File

In VS Code, create a new markdown file; you each need to keep track of your own records.

Add Paper Boat Design for the title (use a header tag).
Create some sub headers; Goal, Research, Plan, Prototype, Testing, Modifications & Retesting.

You goal, is to create a boat using a sheet of printer paper and masking tape.
We'll test the by seeing how much you can get your boat to hold before it sinks.

Today, start by doing some research. Look for examples and resources on how to make a boat out of paper. Figure out your plan, and then when you're ready, come get a piece of paper and masking tape from me. I want to see a sketch of your plan before you can have any masking tape,

You'll be able to start testing them tomorrow. Before testing, you'll need to have some writing for Goal, Research, Plan (with a picture), Prototype (with a picture) in your .md file. You can take picturesbusing the iMac's webcam with PhotoBooth.
