What do\u00a0the concepts of social emotional (perseverance, resilience, self regulation), curiosity, exploration and problem solving have in common? They are all intricately woven in the fabric of\u00a0Applied Design, Skills and Technology.<\/a><\/p>\n

Invention, creation and ‘learning by doing’ inspires and challenges students to dig deep, work with problems and adapt to a changing world. This curricular area involves Computational Thinking, Business Education, Home Economics\/Culinary Arts, Information\/Communication Technology and Technology Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elementary Possible Starting Points:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the elementary level, these experiences can be captured through centers focused on developing the mindset capacity of Computational Thinking<\/strong><\/em> in ADST. Including the core competencies of Personal Awareness, Communication and Critical Thinking provides a greater depth to the sessions.<\/p>\n

Centers allow multiple entry points to include something for everyone (a success story waiting to unfold).\u00a0Each center is designed for active engagement in both the building\/making aspect, as well as revealing self regulation, perseverance, resilience\u2026 (Personal Awareness Competency). Reflection during and afterwards is key to explicitly connect the maker mindset and language of the competencies (critical thinking, communication, personal awareness) in using \u201cI can\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/em> statements.
\nThe following instructions are part of our growing number of centers. You can download each of the instructions to glue onto cards. (Some centers may require further supplies and these are listed by *.)<\/p>\n
