Project studio120 minNo new lesson

Learning outcomes

  • Demonstrate each subsystem working on its own
  • Have the subsystem milestone signed

Kit and components

    Next milestone: S55

Checkpoint: ready to move on?

Every learner has the subsystem milestone signed, or a recovery plan agreed.

Extension for fast finishers

Begin merging two proven subsystems.

Catch-up path

If a subsystem cannot be made to work, agree a reduced scope that still meets the minimum requirements.

Homework and practice

Fix outstanding subsystems.

Facilitator notes

  • A reduced scope is better than an unfinished project - check the minimum scope is still met.
