Introduction to WeDo 2.0 Using the LEGO ® Bricks in an Engineering Context 3. Design Students design solutions for a problem for which there is no single answer. The problem may require students to design a combination of plans, models, simulations, programs, and presentations. Going through the design process will require students to constantly adjust and modify their solutions to meet criteria. While designing a solution, it will be important to recognize that the idea of “failure” in engineering is a sign of growth in the cognitive process. Therefore, students may not get a viable solution on the first try or within the provided time constraints.
In that case, have them reflect on their process to identify what they have learned. When you implement a design project, encourage students to focus their creativity on designing multiple solutions. Ask them to select the prototype they think is the best according to the criteria you have set. Examples of designing Guided Projects are: • Prevent Flooding • Drop and Rescue • Sort to Recycle Important Documents produced by students following the completion of these three types of projects may contain different types of information. ©2016 The LEGO Group. 21
