To continue on our journey of building with a user in mind and solving fairy tale problems, kindergarteners, first and second graders are solving the problem of how the gingerbread person could get across the river without having to depend on that sneaky fox!
First, we acted out the story to make sure everyone remembered the main plot points. The kids had a blast "running" and being dramatic in the library!
Then, as a group, we discussed what are some alternative ways we could use technology to get the gingerbread person across the river safely? They had a lot of interesting ideas involving submarines and helicopters, but we agreed that creating a boat would be the simplest solution, so the students paired up and began ideating.
Some students turned to other library resources and perused books about ships and boats to inspire a successful design.
Others just used their imaginations!
These students have everything they need to make their visions a reality! Building and testing are up next! We'll see who can keep our gingerbread friend the safest!
