Finishing Up the Year - Projects & Reflection

Here is what you need to have on your blog to complete the Trimester 3 Assignments.

Remember that at the end of every project, you need a DETAILED Reflection.
Reflection for CS class has 4 basic sections:

  1. What is this?  Describe in detail what the project sample is and why you made it.
    1. What problem/need were you solve? - Design Thinking Strategy - Empathize, Understand, Design, Prototype, Test
  2. How did you create this?
    1. include details of the software used to create 
    2. describe using vocabulary specific to the project.  For example 3D printing vocab - cut, group, ruler, caliper, align, resize, workspace, shapes, angles, milimeters - should be used in your explanation
  3. How do you feel about your project?   Explain your feelings about your work - was it your best, did you learn something new, can you use these tools or skill in other areas of you learning, how cool is it?
  4. Evidence
    1. Photos and screenshots of you projects.  
    2. Photos of finished projects in use
    3. Audio files of your work
    4. Video evidence
