Performance Tasks

Performance tasks are activities that occur in the middle and at the end of each unit that allow youth to demonstrate to themselves and others how well they understand the concepts highlighted in the Big Ideas. The three types of performance tasks embedded in the curriculum enable youth to demonstrate what they know and can do include:

1. activities in which youth give each other feedback on what they have developed and then iterate on their designs based on this feedback;
2. culminating activities, such as Family Tech Nights, where youth present what they've learned to their families and communities;
3. guides for group discussion and reflection on concepts highlighted in these activities.

The following table names each of the performance assessments, its type of tasks, the basic activity or technology experience, and the key concepts and skills to be learned.
