CREATE: More than STEM

 

Good Shepherd's CREATE program

Coding, Robotics, Electronics, Art, Technology, Engineering

 

The Vision

We aspire for our students to:

  • understand that power, data and memory are the core pieces that make up computing devices.  
  • program computing devices to collect, display, process and visualize data to solve problems and complete purposeful tasks.  
  • digitally painting, design in 3D, edit videos and audios and design and control robots
  • distinguishing between the hardware and software that make up devices
  • extend the capabilities of computers by adding sensors and wireless connections to send, receive, process and store data
  • understand that data over the internet needs to be broken into individual pieces and travel along a physical or wireless path - through a global network of computers - to be reassembled on arrival
  • information needs to be protected with security measures
  • develop programs and iteratively improve them through disciplined troubleshooting.
