Introduction to WeDo 2.0 Using the Open Projects The Open Projects also follow the Explore, Create, Test, and Share sequence but intentionally do not offer the same step-by-step guidance as the Guided Projects. They provide an initial brief and starting points to build upon. The key to using the Open Projects is to make them your own; offer opportunities for projects that are locally relevant and challenging in the areas you want them to be. Use your creativity to adapt these project ideas to suit your students. You will find teacher support about Open Projects in the “Open Projects” chapter.
With every Open Projects brief, students will be given three suggested base models to look at in the Design Library. The Design Library, located in the software, is composed of inspiration for building (Model library) and inspiration for programming (Program library). Therefore, students should not try to replicate exactly the specific model or the exact program string, but should seek for help on how to build each function, such as to lift, walk or blink. Students will find in the design library:
• Building instructions for base models • Close up pictures for inspirational models • Program description for base function • Program description for inspirational functions Important The Design Library and Open Projects can be found in the WeDo 2.0 Software. ©2016 The LEGO Group. 12
