| Abstract: | The purpose of this grade 7-12 activity is to introduce the students to team building in the context of design, specifically in terms of design volatility and the need for a flexible design. Software requirements often can change in the real world and students need to understand that their design process must address this reality. |
| Description: | This activity is conducted within a 50-minute period. Students have generally learned about what requirements and design are, thus providing the opportunity to incorporate the notion of changing requirements and their implication in design. This is a high level activity that requires no programming. |
