Team Final Project: Code for Good. As CS students develop their programming skills, they also need to develop the awareness that programming can have a vital role in mitigating social concerns and improving life.
The art of learning a new computer programming language is similar to the art of learning a new language. Each language has its unique structure and syntax, but also similarities that make learning a new language easier. In this lesson, students are given a script written in Snap!
The purpose of this ETP is to develop an open-ended process for students to learn physics and coding in python. This process will include four steps. The first step will be to learn the physics concepts by direct instruction: given the principles, examples and exercises.
There are many instances in all areas of the workforce, where we are given a task in which we may not have all the necessary skills or knowledge to accomplish the goal immediately.
Students work in groups of up to three to build a prototype of an innovative computational solution to a problem in society that they are passionate about. They will first identify and scope one part of the problem in society that they can solve with a physical computing device.
At Lockheed Martin, I worked in the FBM Avionics department to understand the current systems and processes related to QNOTE closures. I was able to meet a myriad of engineers, technicians and other LM members who allowed me to see a glimpse of their work experience.
In this lesson plan, students will learn how to use the Python programming language, Raspberry Pi computer, and a robotics kit to create a robot that moves and responds to its environment. It assumes that students are already familiar with programming fundamentals in Python.
While programmers can keep track of their own code in their head, it can be difficult for beginning programmers to understand the importance of writing readable code.
Ramps are everywhere! Ratios and proportions are used everywhere in the real world, and at Sequoia High School, wheelchair ramps are a clear example of the importance of ratios. Students will interact with various code.org animations, all of which are dealing with some type of ramp.
