10th Grade G.A.a.D
Prerequisite: Scientific and Technical Visualization I
This course provides students with advanced skills in the use of complex visualization tools for the study of science, technology, or mathematical concepts. Students design and develop increasingly complex data and concept-driven visualization models. Students use complex 2D and 3D graphics, animation, editing, and image analysis tools to better understand, illustrate, and explain concepts. Students present technical, mathematical and /or scientific concepts and principles. Activities are structured to integrate physical and social sciences, mathematics, English language arts and art. Work-based learning strategies appropriate for this course include mentorship, school-based enterprise, service learning, and job shadowing. Apprenticeship and cooperative education are not available for this course. Technology Students Association (TSA) competitive events, and community service, and leadership activates provide the opportunity to apply essential standards and workplace readiness skills through authentic experiences. This honors level course extends the standard course of study to a more challenging level for the student who is highly motivated, able to work independently and has a history of high academic achievement. Students will be expected to take and pass the appropriate industry certification exam associated with the course, if available.
