Code.org Lesson 8: Project - Paper Prototype - The focus of this project is on the design process, especially empathizing with their user and the testing & feedback steps of the app design process. Based on user interviews from the previous lesson, each student comes up with an idea for an app that will address their user's problem. Students then get to create their own paper prototype of their app ideas by drawing "screens" on individual notecards. A project guide directs students through the process including building the paper prototype and testing it with their user to see if their assumptions about the user interfaces they created are accurate.
