G10 Tech Class #33


Today we will continue working on Project 3Robotics.

Please work on finishing Investigation today, and we will be starting Plan stage as well.

To review Investigation details, please visit last class' Blog post. 

Please submit Investigation before class is over by following following the steps to submit assignments posted in the MYP Tech Website. Remember to Include the Assignment Standards.


Why do think we move from Investigation to Plan, "skipping" Design stage?

Based on your Investigation, once you decide what your final product will be, you should start working on your Plan stage, defining what will be done when and with what resources. 
Focus on the process of creation/building of the robot.

Remember to include:
  • a step by step list of instructions to build your robot  (like giving very detailed instructions for someone else to build it for you!) 
  • a detailed timeline (for the process of building/creation)
  • the resources you will use
Take a look at the updated list of assignments and Due Dates for G10 - Project 3.

Before you leave you need to make your Process Journal entry of the day.
