G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #41

If you have class after testing, please start working on Create stage.

Start working building your robot according to the details you planned in the combined Design / Plan assignment using one box / kit per group.



For this stage it is super important to look into these:

1. Your complete Process Journal with :
  • dated journal entries including Visual Evidence (designs, sketches, screen shots, pictures, etc that show how the steps you took to build your robot)
  • notes regarding any changes you needed to make to Design and/or Plan: e.g. added a piece, changed the robot, used another resource, didn't need a resource, didn't finish what was planned etc.
  • how did the group work? Did you have any issues? how did you overcome them, if any?
2. Explain what tools and techniques you used to build your robot
3. How was your time management: Have you followed your time plan? How?
4. Have you made any changes to your chosen design? WhyHow?
5. Complete your robot following your Design/Plan! :-) 

You can always use the Design Folder Checklist to make sure your Create stage is complete.

Keep an eye on the G10 Due Dates for Project 2 to stay on task.

Don't forget to make your journal entry of the day and  include in it all the screenshots of the process of creating your final product as visual evidence!
