Scratch Programming

Essential Knowledge/Concepts
Quick Response (QR) codes are a type of barcodes
that link the physical world to the digital universe.

Augmented Reality (AR) enriches our interaction with

common physical objects by blending them with
digital content.

A variety of mobile device applications can be

creatively combined with QR codes and/or AR to
produce specific digital content.

A building-block type of programming language such

as Scratch allows us to program a variety of digital
creations through visual problem solving.

Scratch + Makey Makey

Kits

Design Cycle Stage 1:

Inquiring & Analysing

Makey Makey is an innovative type of circuit board

that allows us to connect common objects to
computer programs and turn them into physically
interactive inventions.

Careful investigation of the problem and analysis of

existing products/solutions help us design purposeful
creations.

Design Cycle Stage 2:

Developing Ideas

An effective design specification guides us in

determining the specific features we want to see in
the intended product/solution.

Design Cycle Stage 3:

Creating the Solution

Planning the procedure and using appropriate

materials and tools help us efficiently create the
intended product/solution.

Design Cycle Stage 4:

Evaluating

Project Exhibit

Evaluating the product/solution against the design

specification helps us appropriately identify areas for
improvement.

Product and process are both important in presenting

our final work.

Justifying changes made to the plan

Creating and analyzing evaluation surveys
Conducting peer/audience/user evaluation
Designing methods for product testing
Evaluating product/solution against design
specification
Explaining the impact of the project
Suggesting ways for improvement
Organizing materials for presentation
