Daily Note

Our plan for the day:

  1. We will review our virtual learning process:
    1. We will review our daily note procedure

    3. We will review our threaded discussion board
       
  2. We will review how you get a grade in this class. 
     
  3. We will review models and simulations
    1. What is a model?
      1. This video is a great introduction to models
         
    2. We are going to design a model for toy cars.
      1. We will start with a very simple model
      2. We will slowly build complexity into our model
    3. If you are interested in getting some candy in todays class, please come to me and quiety tell me the sum of todays date (10 + 19 + 2020)
       
    4. Click here for a survey

Homework

  1. All homework is listed in our Google classroom under the topic "Homework".

 

Our Big idea

The big idea for today is Modeling and simulation.

The essential questions for this topic are:

How do models and simulations help us understand and improve our world?

It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to
learn more about modeling and simulation (which is connected to today's daily note), please click here .

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
