1. What do you know a lot about?
You are an expert in …

2. What is something YOU know a lot about?
IT doesn't have to be about school. Most likely it’s not.
There is SOMETHING you probably know a lot about – maybe more than most
Think of that thing.
Take post-it note and write what it is you know a lot about on it
Whether it is playing an instrument; history of cars; fashion; music; a particular sport; a unique skill like juggling… you most likely know a lot about that one ’something’. Write that on the post it note.

4. Share your knowledge Ideas placed into group of 4 and briefly:
State to the group what you chose
Share one fact about what you wrote on the paper or explain why you chose that topic/’thing’
I will select diverse interests and place in groups of 4. In those groups, everyone will first state their ‘area of expertise’ and then share either one fact about that subject, or explain to the group WHY you chose that particular area/subject.
Since we have agreed that technology affects almost EVERY area of our lives, it is certain that computing and technology will play a major role in that area.

5. A novel or improved idea, device, product, et cetera, or the development thereof.
Innovation:
Definition of innovation

6. Prototype A preliminary sketch of an idea or model for something new.
We will practice “rapid prototyping”, or quickly brainstorming how technology could help to innovate one of the subjects shared within your group.

7. Rapid Prototyping As a group, talk about each subject / “thing” and:
Identify how technology is used with, or affects that “thing”
Make a suggestion for either:
• a way that tech might be improved to make it better, faster, or easier to use
• a creative or innovative new technology that might help solve some problem within that area, or at least make it better

8. Rapid Prototyping
Come together and get excited about one of those ideas! As a group, nominate the idea you’ve discussed that might be the most interesting to everyone else in class. Then: Begin sketching your idea on poster. You are making a visual representation of that idea

Computer Science is Changing Everything

10. Exit Ticket
Speculate: what innovations might have significantly impact our lives 25 years from now.
Write your response and your name on the half sheet of paper.
