In 3rd Grade, students apply the iterative design process to build, test, and refine algorithms that use loops, events, and conditional logic. They create and evaluate digital models to represent real-world objects and processes, while also exploring the societal impacts of computing technologies. Students practice accurate technical vocabulary, troubleshoot devices, and apply secure digital practices such as managing passwords. Through data collection and pattern analysis, learners begin to connect computing skills to broader problem-solving and career pathways.
