Grade 3 Computational Thinker Cornerstone Task Assessment

Grade 3 Computational Thinker Cornerstone Task Assessment

Assessment Evidence

Students will demonstrate their understanding of computational thinking concepts  by understanding that there are coding conditionals and repeat loops used to program most robots. This computational thinking becomes necessary when writing computer code to solve a real-world problem such as engineering a robot to avoid obstacles. In this task, students will program Dash the robot to successfully maneuver through an obstacle course. Students will be able to transfer their map of the course into Blockly coding language that includes an event block, a loop, an if/else/then conditional, and a sensor. Students will watch other classmates' obstacle course runs and respond with positive feedback. They will also reflect on their work with their team to complete the task as a collaborative group.
