Planning is key to any successful project!  You will now begin to brainstorm and research project ideas.  This project can be done in pairs or individually (groups of 3 need my approval).  Keep in mind that the technologies in the MakerSpace are available for all groups but I am hoping that a pair of students will take ownership of a particular technology.  As well, I encourage students to use more than one technology in their final project build.  Since many of these technologies are new, start with easy objectives in the beginning in order to strengthen your skillset.  

 

See attached rubric for more details on what needs to be in your proposal.  Also attached is the blank word document...save and rename.  Email hallihana@nbed.nb.ca with completed by Friday, Sept. 15th.
