This week designers explored the intersection of technology, coding, and creating inspired by Rosie Revere Engineer.
S - Design Thinking StoryOzobot Research
Designers teamed up to research influential woman coders in different industries, create a timeline of important accomplishments, color code the Ozobot path, and record their final research together on Flip.
T - Technology Exploration
Designers learned about how the radio function in the micro:bit works and practiced transporting virtual ducks and more.
E - Engineering Exploration
Designers learned about how servos work. Using the Bit:Explorer and micro:bit, designers coded a rotational servo.
M - Making
Designer were challenged to apply their radio and servo programming skills together.

Learning Target: Learn about, explore, and use different types of technology to make music.
S (Design Thinking Story) - Trombone Shorty
Success Criteria: I will learn about an American Musician who is influencing music today while watching an Edpuzzle to answer comprehension questions about the story.
T (Technology Exploration) - Evo Coded MusicSuccess Criteria: I will code my Ozobot Evo using Ozoblockly to create a musical light movement sequence and record my final design in Flip. My program will have a minimum of 3-5 notes, 2-3 movements, and 1-2 light changes. E - (Engineering Exploration) - Chrome Music Lab
Success Criteria: I can use Chrome Music Lab to create original music and share it to Flip using screen recording.
M - (Making) Micro:Bit Instrument
Success Criteria: I can create a cardboard instrument of my choice, add an original coded program to my Micro:bit, and share it in Flip.
Crossings by Katy Duffield
Crossings by Katy Duffield was shared with me at STEAM in the Park NERI this summer as well as the wood planks activity. I so enjoyed both the story and the activity that I wanted to create this learning opportunity for my designers too.
First designers listened to Crossings using Edpuzzle to respond to different questions about what they noticed as they listened to the story.
Makers Empire Strong Structures
Next to build a better understanding of bridge construction, I had the designers complete the Makers Empire module Strong Structures which is a combination of instructional videos and 3D design challenges.
Ozobot Animal and Bridge Crossing Challenge
The Tech Music mixtape (click on the picture above) captures just a little of the amazing diversity of how music and technology blend to create powerful creation opportunities for our designers. I love using the Mixtapes with Flip because it allows designers to share with each other and enjoy the diversity of how music is created. My favorite design challenge of this week is the Micro:Bit recycled cardboard instrument. Designers really take this challenge to another level with their ability to incorporate different recycled materials and programming the Micro:Bit to play a song that they have designed. Micro:Bit Recycled Instrument Mixtape
This week was the culmination of our Design Thinking Coding Project with a LAUNCH to 4 different classes ranging from 2nd to 4th. Designers impressed with their knowledge and ability to adapt to different learning groups.

Student DesignsStudent Reflections and Mastery CheckIn previous posts, I have always started with the beginning of the process but the Modern Classroom Project is really about backwards design. So let me start with where we ended and how we got there for this unit.

Introduction to UnitThe third unit that I developed using the Modern Classroom project framework has just wrapped up. In this post, I will share my thought process, the resources that I developed, and student examples. Resources for the UnitBelow are the student slides as well as the station posters for the unit. Student ExamplesMy favorite part of this unit is what the designers create.
Aspire to DesigningTo celebrate the upcoming holiday, designers learned about the history of the Macy's parade.
