This week we focus on the Creativity Big Idea of the Computer Science Principles Framework. We will look at the Essential Questions, as well as some of the Essential Knowledge statements and Learning Objectives associated with it.
|
Essential Questions:
1. How can a creative development process affect the creation of computational artifacts?
2. How can computing and the use of computational tools foster creative expression?
3. How can computing extend traditional forms of human expression and experience?
