4-5d Automation

Students develop a sequence of steps to create and test automated solutions.

Automation: Having computers or machines do repetitive or tedious tasks.
Sequence of steps: A series of ordered steps taken to solve a problem or achieve some end; an algorithm, for example, as part of computer programming, including coding.
Automated solution: A computer-aided solution that completes a task.

I can create computer coded steps to automate a task.

4 I can teach how to code a computer to automate a task.
3 Without help, I can code a computer to automate a task.
2 With a little help, I can code a computer to automate a task.
1 I need a lot of help coding a computer to automate a task.

After each stage, check with your learning partners to see if they need help.
1. Help give meaning to the task in a way that makes sense to your learning partners
2. Get ideas from others on coding the task using fewer steps.

You will be successful if....
  1. You seek understanding from others for solving the coding problem in the best way possible.
"Be a friend to yourself; do all you can to be wise. Try hard to understand, and you will be rewarded."

  2. You can describe the meaning of the code for a task to someone who needs help from you.
"Like clouds and wind that bring no rain, is a person who brags of gifts they never give."
"Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom."

To earn Kid's Choice,
  1. Rephrase the learning target in your own words to a learning partner.
  2. Explain to a learning partner why today's learning target is important.

All Lessons

Students will practice coding with algorithms, loops, conditionals, and events before they are introduced to functions. In the second part of the course, students design and create a capstone project they can share. (Optional Ramp Up to Course E Lessons Here)
