Session 8 — Operation: Neko Prime

Opening concept: Real engineering problems don’t come with instructions.

Activity:

• Run “Operation: Neko Prime” (scenario-based collaboration challenge from curriculum/AdditionalActivities/Operation-Neko-Prime.pdf)
• Teams receive a mission briefing and must coordinate their Edison programs to complete a scenario without step-by-step guidance
• Any programming level allowed: barcodes, Card Coding, EdBlocks, or EdScratch
• Debrief: how did your team make decisions when there was no clear right answer?

Materials: Operation: Neko Prime student sheets, all programming materials available
