Objectives:

· Students will learn how to use conditionals by adding error handling to their Vending Machine Project

Learning Experience

· There will be a short lecture on the types of error handling is needed

· Students will move to the hands-on activity of finishing up lesson 11a and b and starting 13a

Students will be assessed on

· How well students work independently

· Add robust error messages to the VendingMachine Class.
