Engineering Design Process 1-1 Boot Camp!

Code is a varied and complex process. It requires new languages and skills. This class is focussed on the Engineering Design Process to combine software and hardware to create something all your own. This class uses the 1-1 format to assess a student’s skills, interests, and resources to set a project goal. Classes then convert to the process of hardware engineering, code building and refining, and artistic finishing to create unique projects.
Class 1, December 27: Inventory: assessing the skills, interests and resources to make a build plan.
Class 2, December 28: prototyping 101: Schematic building to plan for hardware, software, and artistry of the project
Class 3, December 29: Hardware: This class is for the manual building of the electronics/mechanics involved in the project. If the project is game design focussed, hardware is replaced with game mechanics.
Class 4, December 30: Software building: Code is written for the project using a preferred software option.
Class 5, December 31: Artistic finishing: Design choices like robot shells, pop culture detailing, and colour decals are introduced to bring the project to its final form. 
Ongoing: Upon project completion, we return to the class 1 inventory to plan a new project or students have the option to cycle back for another week of work.
