Introduction to WeDo 2.0 Using Open Projects The Open Projects also follow the Explore, Create 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, has been designed to provide inspiration for students to build their own solution. Therefore, the goal is not to replicate the model but to get help on how to build a function, such as to lift or walk. Students will find building instructions for the 15 base models in the Design Library and pictures for inspirational models. Suggestion The Design Library and Open Projects can be found in the WeDo 2.0 Software. ©2016 The LEGO Group. 8
