Budding Designers

Big Ideas

• Designs grow out of natural curiosity.
• Skills can be developed through play.
• Technologies are tools that extend human capabilities.

Curricular Competencies

• Use materials, tools, and technologies in a safe manner in both physical and digital environments.
• Develop their skills and add new ones through play and collaborative work.
• Explore the use of simple, available tools and technologies (such as scissors) to extend their capabilities.

Content

Students are expected to use the learning standards for Curricular Competencies from Applies Design, SKills, and Technologies K-3 in combinations with grade-level content from other areas of learning in cross-curricular activities to develop foundational mindsets and skills in design thinking and making.

The K-3 ADST curriculum does not focus on content such as:

• coding/robots
• green screens
• entrepreneurship
• sewing
• food studies
• woodwork

It does focus on thinking applied to Content (see The Hug above).

This is a little blurb that will describe this section and what resources you might find here. It can go on for a few sentences, but shouldn’t be too terribly long, possibly three to four at max. It should be written in a friendly but professional tone, so that the audience feels welcomed.

There could even be a second little paragraph. Just don’t make it too wordy.
