Scope & Sequence 3
Everyday Empowerment Grade Level: 3 | Career Pathway: Healthcare | Integrated STEM Application: Circuitry and Electronics
Unit Overview Unit Description: In this unit, learners step into the role of rehabilitation engineers to solve a real-world challenge from the healthcare industry. Learners are introduced to a fictional scenario where a rehabilitation center needs assistive technology to help their patients perform everyday tasks. Learners work in pairs to learn about a patient’s needs and create an assistive electronic. The focus of this challenge is leveraging digital citizenship, computational thinking, systems thinking, ethics, and circuitry and electronics applications to find a solution and share it with others.
Challenge: How can we design an assistive device to help patients with everyday tasks?
