Description:
Problem statements are ones that are formed using the format (or a similar one to), "Don't you hate it when...". There is a lot more detail that is associated with problem statements and what makes a good problem statement. This can be found on www.mypltw.org and using the problem statement PowerPoint. We will have plenty of practice because this is the foundations to starting our project.
To the right, an image of the example problem statement by PLTW is provided. Notice how the problem statement includes a who, what, where, when, and how many. These are the critical elements in a problem statement and ensuring that yours contains all of these is important.
The top portion is the bad example, while the one under shows the revised problem statement.
Task:
Task:
- Write a minimum of 30 problem statements in the format of, "Don't you hate it when..."
- Narrow down the 30 problem statements to 5 of the most probable/passionate problem statements and put it in the format of the example provided by PLTW (The Game Fisherman example)
- Form groups based off of the problem statement. Please do not form teams based off of friendship, but rather project passion, as this is a long project and choosing groups wisely is important.
