The Disney Challenge

The fifth grade students have been challenged to design a theme park ride that meets a set of predetermined criteria. The students have been busy planning the ride and writing the necessary lines of code. Stay tuned for updates as the plans turn into reality and the students construct an automated prototype. In the meantime, be sure to view today's video which shows how one fifth grade class approached the initial design phase of this project!

  2. Thanks for the question. Maybe the fourth graders can do something like this in the spring. Don't worry though, you will be writing lots of computer code in December when you participate in the Hour of Code Challenge!
