Active Share

• Have each group share their final project with the class. To help students embrace that there are multiple solutions to the same challenge, have each group place their 123 Robot on the Field, and show their code to the class.
• Then, let the class try to predict how many obstacles the 123 Robot will find. When each group then starts their project, encourage students to look for whether their prediction was correct.
• When the 123 Robot completes the project, have the group explain how they chose the blocks in their project.
• Highlight similarities and differences between projects, and call attention to how exciting it is that students found so many ways to solve the same challenge!

Discussion Prompts

Digital Documentation

• Take a video of students sharing their projects, and explaining how they chose the blocks for their projects. Share multiple solutions with your classroom community to show how students were able to complete the challenge in their own ways.

Student-Driven Visible Thinking

• Take photos of successful projects, or have students write or draw their successful projects. Hang them in your 123 Learning Center to show how to use loops in a project. Students can refer to them during future explorations.

Metacognition-Reflecting Together

• How would you describe what the loop does in your project?
• If you wanted to find only two obstacles on the landing site, how would you change your project?
• What was one challenge your group faced while creating and testing your VEXcode 123 project? How did you deal with that?
