# Guide to Project Plan

Whether you are intending to run a single project as the main activity for a semester or inject a smaller project within another instructional context, you can use [**this template**](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H-VrDuWMlp4r6uCqIF1fx5NQlTjsBa_4TErhwKJYejc/edit?usp=sharing) (embedded below) as a starting point. You may also want to use (or borrow ideas from) the [**PBLWorks project planner**](https://my.pblworks.org/planner)**.**

If you are going to use a CxD project guidebook, a lot of the details are already prepared, but you definitely want to formulate the big-picture plan on you will facilitate the course in your context. Ultimately, make the project/course plan work for you and include the level of detail you need. We hope these resources are good starting points.

### **Recommendations on Template Sections**

#### **Description**

Provide a rich description of the project challenge and some background. What is the challenge to students specifically?  What technology or tools will be applied. What will be the make-up of student teams?

**Primary Student Resources**

List the primary material you will use (like a CxD project guidebook), along with programming environments and tools--like Google Drive, Prototyping Platforms, etc.&#x20;

#### Time Allotments and Project Management Process

Describe the intended time allotments for the major activities. For example -- 70% Project, 20% Individual programming tutorials, 10% Topic Research.  Also describe how you intend to manage team project progress, like with digital Kanban Boards.

#### Community Partners and Engagement Plan

Who in the community might be your partner? How do you intend the partners to engage with the students?

**Assessment Plan**

What will be your primary methods of formative and summative assessment?

#### Milestone: Date & Venue

What is your target date and place for student presentations?

#### Milestone: Publishing Channel

How might you make student artifacts available online for the community to see, either as a lead-up to a presentation or for those that can't physically attend?&#x20;

#### Milestone: Standards

Summarize the learning objectives and standards met with the work that leads up to the milestone.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.launchboard.app/cxd/cxd-2020-summer-workshop/instructional-plan/guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
