Sometimes, you only have a few clues to help you figure out a situation.

What are some things you have to do before inventing a solution to a problem?

Kiki has an exciting life but she finds herself in all kinds of weird situations!

1. Read the program and describe what each line of the program does.
2. Read the story in the comment box and activate the program.
3. Position Kiki in front of each colored brick.

You’ll hear 3 sounds. Listen carefully, and use your imagination to figure out what the problem might be. Come up with more than one idea

1. Pick one of the possible problems you came up with, and discuss how to solve it.
2. Define some success criteria and design constraints for your solution.
3. Gather the elements you’ll need, and solve Kiki’s problem!

Have you defined another problem that you’d like to solve for Kiki?

Remember to write down your success criteria and design constraints before you start building your solution.

Try to make your criteria more detailed this time.

Think about what you did well and what you could’ve done better.
