Learn to Code, and Change the World

Defining the Need and Selecting a Topic (Thursday)

Welcome to Maddie's Virtual Classroom!

I am so excited because I have a really fun project planned for us over the next 5 weeks. Be sure to visit the Afterschool page everyday to keep working on this project. In my virtual classroom, we will practice prototyping, design thinking, research, and even digital citizenship.

I cannot wait to see what you create, and I’m here to help guide you along the way.

Essential Questions:

  1. What is a strong topic?

  2. How can we develop thought-provoking topics?

Today you will:

  • Learn about developing strong and interesting topics

  • Revisit your 5 topics from yesterday

  • Select 3 topics that you think are strong and thought-provoking
