Session 5 — Ball Game Tournament

Opening concept: Improvement comes from trying, watching, and adjusting.

Activity:

• Round-robin tournament: 3-minute matches, count deliveries
• Between rounds, each team gets 2 minutes to practice and adjust their strategy
• Debrief: what changed between your first round and your last? Why?

Engineering connection: Full loop — Understand → Imagine → Build → Prove. Students articulate what they tried, what worked, what they changed.

Materials: Ball game setup, timer
