What is computational thinking?
Computational thinking is a way of solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behavior.

What is STEM?
STEM refers to the academic disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. They are focused together because of their deep connections to the real world. Students learn most effectively with this kind of interdisciplinary and applied focus.

What is PBL?
Project-Based Learning is a dynamic approach to teaching in which students explore real-world problems and challenges. With this type of active and engaged learning, students are inspired to obtain a deeper knowledge of the subjects they are studying.

Example… Computational Thinking Concept and STEM Application = PBL
Example: Lack of Water Around the World
Computational Thinking Concept- Break a problem into parts or steps STEM Application- Break down global drought crisis areas and determine how drought conditions
are impacting the communities
Computer Science Application- Recognize and find patterns or trends STEM Application- Visualize data comparing water need conditions in parts of the world
Computer Science Application- Develop instructions to solve a problem or steps for a task with data STEM Application- Determine target global water crisis areas based on data, make a plan to help
alleviate water crisis
