Perseverance: Persistence in a course of action in spite of difficulty or adversity; determination in pursuing goals; firmness of purpose; grit; belief that we can improve.
Working with technology like KIBO and ScratchJr introduces many potential challenges such as software bugs, hardware malfunctions, or a mix of the two. Encountering challenges, and working through them in a positive and productive way, is a fundamental step of the design process, and should be encouraged and embraced. Perseverance is crucial to building a strong work ethic and positive learning strategies.
