In this lesson, students explore the concept of computing innovations—new or improved technologies that rely on computing in some way. They will analyze real-world examples using a structured framework and then create an infographic showcasing a computing innovation of their choice. Through this lesson, students can connect their real-world experiences to computer science and broaden their understanding of the discipline, all while thinking critically about the world and technologies around them.
