Computational Thinker
Students develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions.
5aStudents formulate problem definitions suited for technology-assisted methods such as data analysis, abstract models and algorithmic thinking in exploring and finding solutions.
5bStudents collect data or identify relevant data sets, use digital tools to analyze them, and represent data in various ways to facilitate problem-solving and decision-making.
5cStudents break problems into component parts, extract key information, and develop descriptive models to understand complex systems or facilitate problem-solving.
5dStudents understand how automation works and use algorithmic thinking to develop a sequence of steps to create and test automated solutions.
Innovative Designer
Students use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.
4aStudents know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems.
4bStudents select and use digital tools to plan and manage a design process that considers design constraints and calculated risks.
4cStudents develop, test and refine prototypes as part of a cyclical design process.4dStudents exhibit a tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance and the capacity to work with open-ended problems.
