Q6 Evaluation: Introduction
Introduction
Let’s Wrap It Up: Time to Test and Tweak!
You’ve made it to the final stage of Computational Thinking - Evaluation. This is where you become the tester, the fixer, and the idea-improver!
Think of it like this: You just designed your very own video game. Now it’s time to play it!
- Does it actually work the way you planned?
- Is it fun or kind of confusing?
- Do the rules make sense, or are they a bit wacky?
If something feels off or could be even better, this is your moment to level it up.
Ask yourself - or a friend:
- Did I solve the problem I started with?
- Can I make it faster, cooler, or simpler?
- What advice can help me make it awesome?
Kind of like double-checking your homework or rereading an essay before turning it in, evaluation helps make sure your solution is solid and ready for prime time!
Learning Objectives
I can:
- Take a good look at my tricky problem and how I solved it.
- Listen to helpful feedback to make my work even better.
- Make improvements based on what I’ve learned and what others suggest.
