Carnival Tycoon Data Challenge: AMP-IT-UP Learning Goals, and Georgia Standards

AMP-IT-UP Learning Goals

• Students conduct research and document design requirements to develop a design specification.

  • Students define a target audience, market, or customer and research that particular client’s needs.

  • Students document constraints on their design in terms of time, materials, and resources.

  • Students document requirements to which the design must adhere.

• Students iteratively document, communicate and evaluate design concepts to identify feasible solutions for a design problem.

  • Students identify the problem and can state it in words.

  • Students document requirements and constraints through market research during the ‘problem understanding’ phase.

  • Students brainstorm and communicate design concepts using visual skills during the ‘concept generation’ phase.

  • Students engage in a systematic evaluation of design concepts during the ‘concept evaluation’ phase.

• Students collect, analyze and interpret data using appropriate mathematics to make informed, rational decisions.

  • Students perform basic profit analyses.

• Students present relevant documentation, data, and design artifacts to pitch their design solutions to different audiences.

  • Students give sales pitches about their products.
