Learn to Code, and Change the World

Defining the Need and Selecting a Topic (Wednesday)

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 creativity? How can we see creativity inside ourselves?

  2. What problem do you want to solve?

Today you will:

  • Watch two videos

  • Revisit your mind map from yesterday

  • Submit 5 topic ideas, or world problems that you would like to try to solve

Part 1: Watch the videos below

Start with the video on the left. Then, watch the video on the right.
