Session description

Every day, we are faced with differences of opinion and have to figure out how to compromise. In this session, design a community space that promotes community, culture, compromise, diversity and computational thinking. We will highlight the engineering design process and use stop-motion video to present the finished project.

Purpose & objective

-Participants will be tasked with developing a community space that promotes peace and justice.
-Participants will construct a model of the community using 3Dux Design cardboard and connectors.
-Participants will create a video presentation of their community using HUE Animation Studio. This is a stop motion, computer animation software.

Computational thinking is a fundamental skill for everyone, not just for computer scientists. To reading, writing, and arithmetic, we should add computational thinking to every child’s analytical ability. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~15110-s13/Wing06-ct.pdf
