These materials will allow students to understand that coding is more than just programming. The students will be using the materials to build projects that are run by the codes they write. This allows students to understand that coding goes beyond a computer. The projects they build will require them to use logical reasoning, critical thinking and problem solving. Nevada Academic Content Standards for Computer Science and Integrated Technology standards(6-8AP) are addressed in this class. The materials my students will use will allow them to experience first-hand what physical coding is and understand that computer codes are running behind the technology of almost all modern devices. Students will make use of these materials for a variety of projects. In one lesson students are asked to code a program and build a device that can automatically deliver an item based on a sensor. Students use a variety of craft materials to create their models. The students use tape, cardboard and a variety of accessible materials to build models. An example of a project would be a student designs a medicine delivery device for a grandparent. The system could be set to have an alarm in the morning and the device would drop medicine into a cup. The cup could have a sensor underneath and if the pills are not removed to be used another alarm could be set reminding their grandparent to take their medicine. The delivery device could be filled on a weekly basis similar to a plastic weekly pill box. The benefit of this device or a typical pill box is an alarm that ensures the pills are taken daily. The goal of our class is to use technology to create solutions to everyday problems.
