ITEEA STANDARDS (6-8)
1
NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING
Develop innovative products and systems that solve problems and extend capabilities based on individual or collective needs and wants. Compare and contrast the contributions of science, engineering, mathematics, and technology in the development of technological systems. Explain how technology and engineering are closely linked to creativity, which can result in both intended and unintended innovations. Apply creative problem-solving strategies to the improvement of existing devices or processes or the development of new approaches.
