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:
What is creativity? How can we see creativity inside ourselves?
