Day 8

Planting Seed of Story Motivated Builds

Today is a day where students are right in the thick of their prototype creations. However, we must also take time to plant the idea of telling a story. It is not going to fully created at this point, but we need to ensure they are thinking about a story while they work.

The goal of this day is to continue prototype development AND to produce 3 scenes where an astronaut would interact with their idea. These ideas are placed on their Canvas board under "Crazy Ideas"

Example Scenes

These are the ideas our pilot group came up during the activity.

Prototype Marination

This group continues to explore new materials to determine best approach to their prototype design

What started out as cardboard panels is now moving forward to creating the fountain.

Combining materials and LEGO together to design some concepts for a train.

An astronaut build in progress. We must remember that not only are they creating, but they also are learning hand eye coordination skills as well.
