How to Implement:
How to Implement:
- Remind girls that they will be sharing their projects with each other (and possibly guests) as a way of 1) acknowledging the hard work that has taken place and 2) reflecting on their experiences. Explain that this session is an opportunity for finalizing their works-in-progress and coming up with a strategy for sharing their projects with others.
- Give girls time to work on their projects. They should only be making final touches.
- Have the girls prepare a brief presentation by answering the questions below.
- What? - What is your project? How does it work? How did you come up with the idea?
- So what? - What was your process for developing the project? What was the interesting, challenging, and surprising? Why?
- Now what? - What are you most proud of about your project? What would you change? What do you want to create next?
- As practice have the girls present to each other and record those presentations to upload to Flipgrid.
- Encourage the girls to watch their practice videos in preparation for the Showcase.
Notes for Educators
Notes for Educators
The girls may be feeling anxious or stressed about completing their projects. This is an opportunity to remind them that 1) this experience is just a waypoint on their paths as computational creators, and 2) some types of stress can be good, helping us to focus on our goals and get things done!
