Social Studies WWII Sample
"This project lets students create a circuit map of Europe during WWII. Using different circuits, students can identify which countries were Allied, Axis, or neutral. " Chibitronics website
Science/Art STEAM Project
"This activity introduces parallel circuits and series circuit using Chibitronics LED light stickers. The students will be able to identify and represent things that are part of their world by making a light-up card. This activity is an extension to the basic circuits. If your students already have some experience in creating basic circuits with an LED light sticker and a battery, you could encourage them to design circuits with more lights." Chibitronics website

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