    The Engineering Design Process:

    Students plan, design, and execute their own ideas. After they have completed their activity, there is time for reflection on what worked and what didn't. They follow the six step Engineering Design Process: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Experiment, Improve.

    The Coding Process:

    In the Thank you Sarah Coding Activity, students use directional coding to help Sarah save Thanksgiving. NOTE: You do not need a degree in coding to teach this. The directions are designed to be so easy a sub could use them.
