Answer the Essential Questions:  

  • What does the word, “collaborate” mean?
​
  • How can you solve coding problems using collaboration?

​INTRODUCTION:  FORMING TEAMS

Today, you will get new seats.  Look for your name on your computer.  You have 1 minute to find your seat.

LEARN IT!

You have learned a lot of new words in STEM Lab this year.  There are two words you are especially familiar with, algorithm and troubleshooting.

You know that an algorithm is a step by step method for solving a problem or completing a task. 

Today, you are going to use our Troubleshooting Algorithm

What do you think the word, collaborate, means?

With your new teammates, take 1 minute to come up with a definition for this word.

​APPLY IT!

Now that you understand the word collaborate, you are going to collaborate with your new team to solve coding problems today.

A strong collaborative team makes sure that everyone on the team succeeds.  Today, you are going to work with your team to solve coding problems on Code.Org.
