STEMonstration in Space: Save the Taternaut!
Your STEM students haven't been on a field trip in ages and they've had enough! They're taking extreme measures "to compare and contrast the characteristics, composition, and location of comets, asteroids, and meteoroids" by planning an interstellar field trip. Their rocket is almost ready, but they haven't started planning their spacesuits and you're a little worried that they don't fully understand the dangers of space travel. Join GPB Education and an intrepid potato for a STEMonstration about how meteoroids don't play nicely in space and what you can do to save the taternaut!

Computer Science
Recognize when it is appropriate to solve a problem computationally; Make sense of computational problems and persevere in solving them.
Develop through application, logical observations relative to computational thinking procedures to analyze and solve problems current to everyday life.
Identify characteristics of computational thinking (decomposition, pattern recognition, algorithmic thinking and abstraction).
Utilize computational thinking to solve problems.
Analyze the problem-solving process, the input-process-output-storage model of a computer, and how computers help humans solve problems.
Recognize when to use the same solution for multiple problems.
Explain why a real-world issue exists or was created and develop a possible solution.
