• Innovative designers Using a variety of tools and strategies to solve problems creatively and design effective solutions.  

• Computational thinkers: Using logical thinking, algorithms, and data analysis to understand and solve complex problems.

• Creative communicators: Communicating clearly and expressing themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital media appropriate to their goals.

• Global collaborators: Using technology's global reach to work effectively with global peers and experts from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to achieve common goals.
