Session 7 — Card Coding Project (Card Coding Lesson 5)

Opening concept: Engineers design for a goal, not just to make something move.

Activity:

• Card Coding Lesson 5: open-ended design challenge
• Each team picks a task: navigate a maze, perform a dance, play a simple game with another Edison
• Plan → program → run → present
• 10-minute design phase, 15-minute build/test phase, 10-minute sharing

Engineering connection: Full cycle with student-chosen goals. Understand must come first — what does success look like before you start building?

Materials: Card Coding cards, optional: tape for custom courses
