Create Your Own Logo

If I ask you to think of a logo (any logo!), what are some of the first that come to mind?
What makes those particular logos memorable or unique?
Open the Logo Starter File. What do you Notice? What do you Wonder?
Why do you think the programmer added so many indentations to their code?

If I ask you to think of a logo (any logo!), what are some of the first that come to mind?
What makes those particular logos memorable or unique?

Possible responses: They include bright colors. They include simple shapes. The logo tells some sort of story.

Open the Logo Starter File. What do you Notice? What do you Wonder?

Possible Noticing: The programmer has formatted their code with lots of indentations! Possible Wondering: Why are there so many indentations?

Why do you think the programmer added so many indentations to their code?

The code becomes easier to interpret! There is a new line everytime a new function appears.

To launch this project, begin with a conversation about students' favorite logos. Then, invite students to study some example logos (and the corresponding code that produced them!). Finally, students begin sketching their own logo design.

Before you dive in, we recommend printing and distributing the student-facing Rubric: Create Your Own Logo to help students understand the scope of the project and your expectations at the outset. Teachers are welcome and encouraged to edit and adapt the rubric for their unique classroom context.
