Mastering the Design Recipe is a critical component of nearly all Bootstrap pathways. The structure of the Recipe helps students solve problems, make their thinking explicit along the way, and gives educators a chance to point students towards their mistakes simply by asking questions.
We’ve assembled a list of the most-common Design Recipe mistakes that Bootstrap students make, and created these "Buggy Recipes" to embody each one.
-
Educators can use these to sharpen their pedagogical skills, getting practice identifying mistakes and then using the structure of the recipe to guide students to the issue without giving it away.
-
Students can use them as "find the mistake" practice activities, where they look for the bug, fix it, and discuss what misconception might have led to that mistake.
