Kim Burch’s multimedia and game discoveries classes have been working hard building boats. In this lesson, students worked in groups to design aluminum foil boats that would support as many pennies as possible. Groups had two rounds to work on their boats, with the goal of trying to hold more pennies than they did in round one. The structure of the activity foreshadowed different steps of the problem solving process that students will be introduced to in more detail in the following lesson. At the end of the lesson, students reflected on their experiences with the activity and made connections to the types of problem solving they will be doing for the rest of the course. Multimedia and game discoveries is a new course being offered through the Career and Technical Education Department.
