I'm super excited to get started teaching the Digital Design Lab elective I spent the last year designing. Based around the 3D printer, Arduino micro-controller, and basic electronics, it is designed to get kids making stuff in a realistic setting.
I've tried to incorporate all of the best practices I know - for example, we're using portfolio-based assessments and students are planning and guiding their own learning - with lots of choice. I can't wait to show the first batch of projects in the coming weeks.
For now - check out the class home page. All the good stuff is there.
