Daniel, Sofie, Leo and Maria use a special code to share ideas.
Make your own code to communicate with your friends!

What are some ways that people use patterns to transfer information?

What might be some criteria for designing a code?
What about constraints?

Create at least two different codes for sending words with the letters A through E.
Write them down.

Build a model to send coded messages to your friends.

Program your model and test it. Which meets the criteria better?
See the example as inspiration.

Share your progress model and explain.
How do your code designs use different patterns to transfer information?

Share your progress model and explain.
What criteria and constraints did you use?

Share your progress model and explain.
What were your test results from comparing the two code designs?

Share your progress model and explain.
Did your codes make it easy to share information? Why or why not?

Use your completed model to share your designs with the class.

Use your completed model to compare everyone’s designs.
Are they easy to use?
Fast? Accurate?

Use your completed model to choose the best code to communicate with your friends.

Great job!
