Sketch/Describe Stage 4 of your Device Here:
Plans for Connecting Each Device Stage:
Testing Observations:
Does your Device function like you expected? YES NO
If you answered “YES” - Congratulations! You will score well on the Challenge Rubric. You may
now move on to other lessons.
If you answered “NO” - Use your observations above and the Rubric to determine what
problem needs troubleshooting, then use a copy of the Troubleshooting Idea Book Page
to help solve that problem. Keep repeating this “THINK - DO - TEST” process with the
troubleshooting pages, until your device functions correctly.
Follow through with your design plan and BUILD/PROGRAM your device, then TEST and OBSERVE.
Remember: Problems ARE NOT failures, they are an expected part of the design process!
