Part B and Part C -X prize Power Point

Part 2: The X Prize Power Point

As you work on your module, you will find that you finish the Session early and have time left over. Other days you will be working the whole class period. Usually days there are assessments, it will take you the whole period. Days that do not have assessments, are good days to split the time between modules and your other activities in the lab.

You can work with your module partner to complete this assignment. Both people need to have a copy of the power point in their own: My Documents Folder To do this, you will need to save a copy in the shared folder. Here is the path:

K Drive /8thgrade /Anderson /X-Prize /Period

Delete this after you have created a back up copy. I will be emptying this folder daily.

Part B
