Figure It Out!

There are many instances in all areas of the workforce, where we are given a task in which we may not have all the necessary skills or knowledge to accomplish the goal immediately. We are challenged daily to research, study, learn, and apply new skills and tools to keep up with all innovations of the modern tech world.

In Computer Science class we focus on web design and coding (using html and CSS). There is an absolute need to be specific for the final product to function properly. In addition, clear and effective communication, willingness to collaborate with others, and problem solving skills are essential to creating this final product. Such skills are not only necessary in the classroom, but in all aspects of life (social and work place inclusive).

This ETP will challenge Computer Science students to… complete a task which they may not already explicitly know how to do. Students will need to work with others in a small group to call upon their prior knowledge and current skills to learn and apply a new piece of code on their own. This will include using any/all tools and resources available to them (resource notebooks, prior tutorials, peers, youtube, etc.) to complete the task assigned within a given amount of time, independent of teacher instruction.
