This project uses the story “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” to engage students in different stages of the technological problem solving process in the Kindergarten Program document. Students can design structures that Goldilocks can build to replace items that she broke. It also engages students in a coding project that guides her path to reach the bear’s home.
