This is a list of basic vocabulary with definitions and/or examples that will be used in elementary classrooms K-5 when teaching the concepts of algorithms and programming. 

Students will be learning how art and engineering intersect by using Tinkercad, 3D modeling software, produced by Autodesk, to create a physical, 3d printed, product. In this Tinkercad introduction project, students will produce a text-based keychain.

Students will create flowers using polygons with 3-10 sides, classify and arrange them, based on different attributes (SOL CS 4.5).  This activity would be done with 4th graders,  but it could be modified for 3rd or 5th grades. The students would work both individually and collaboratively.
