Research and Brainstorm: Research and Brainstorm: Before you can solve a problem, Before you can solve a problem, you need to know about the subject. In this step, you will learn new you need to know about the subject. In this step, you will learn new techniques, think about solutions that already exist, and research techniques, think about solutions that already exist, and research the environment and/or audience that interacts with your designs. the environment and/or audience that interacts with your designs.

Design and Build: Design and Build: After you have identified your ideas, After you have identified your ideas, choose one that is most promising, and start to design and build a choose one that is most promising, and start to design and build a first version. This is called a prototype. first version. This is called a prototype.

Redesign: Redesign: Often a product will not work perfectly the first time. Often a product will not work perfectly the first time. After the initial tests, identify the problems with your prototype, After the initial tests, identify the problems with your prototype, return to the drawing board and try to solve them for the next return to the drawing board and try to solve them for the next prototype. Continue the redesign cycle! prototype. Continue the redesign cycle!

Robots are generally associated with science fiction and the Robots are generally associated with science fiction and the future. Asking students to actually build and program one can future. Asking students to actually build and program one can be frustrating and scary. As an opening to your class, the be frustrating and scary.
