and movement in the printouts. Each student in the group added their own“line” to the overall dance.Participants were observed trying to figure out how to incorporate movements in an “if-then do”scenario as seen in Figure 1. They finally decided that if Student A takes three steps back andturns onto the stage steps, then Student B and C jumps down off the stage and spin and end witha hand movement. Group B did something similar, coming up with their own dance movementsbased on the CS unplugged activity. During this process both groups had to “debug” their danceplan a few times to make sure their dance fit the song as demonstrated in Figure 2.Once both groups had mastered their own dances they then had to “switch” and learn theopposite groups

Each rubric was based on a 4-point Likert scale and ranked from 4(master) to 1 (novice) based on multiple DT concept categories. These categories were definedas problem description, needs statement, design criteria, multiple solutions, prototype creation,component testing, final prototype testing, and context. The SD design documents were reviewedto determine if these items were mentioned and described based on the defined
