Lesson 7.6: Capstone Project Work Day

Today’s Goals

• Begin coding your Creative Project
• Apply everything you’ve learned so far
• Get feedback from peers and teacher

Warm-Up Question

• What part of your project are you most excited about coding?

Work Session Structure

1. Open your project proposal from last class.
2. Start writing the main structure of your code.
   • Create variables and functions you will need.
   • Add placeholders (e.g., print("TODO: add game loop")).
3. Test small parts of your program as you go.

Teacher Checkpoints

• Show your code progress by halfway through class.
• Ask for feedback if you are stuck.

Peer Collaboration

• Share ideas with your neighbor.
• Ask: “What do you think would make my project more fun?”

Student Challenge

• By the end of class, have a working draft with at least one feature functional (e.g., one menu, one response, one loop).

Wrap-Up

• Save your code to submit progress later.
• Next time: Continue project development and add more features.
