7th Grade: Computer Science and Innovator Makers Computer Science for Innovators and Makers (IM) teaches students that programming goes beyond the virtual world into the physical world. Students are challenged to creatively use sensors and actuators to develop systems that interact with their environment. While designing algorithms and using computational thinking practices, students’ code and upload programs to micro controllers that perform a variety of authentic tasks. The unit broadens students’ understanding of computer science concepts through meaningful applications.
