- There is a good chance I'll be a bit late today, please be patient. I should be at school by 8:30ish.
- I would like to make my position clear about IA vs writing the test
- We will (again) clarify our mock exams for computer science
- We will review the case study, and our resources for the case study

Content
You should be able to define every term in the case study. You should be able to explain each of the challenges.
Process
One issue in the case study is to really understand the terms and challenges. It is important that you are able to explain to someone else whateach term means.
Product
The best way to gauge your understanding of a case study is to create a product which applies your understanding of the case study. For example:
- for blockchain: create a blockchain or create a miner
- for self-driving cars: create a primitive artificial vision system
- for genetic algorithms: create a genetic algorithm to manage a timetable

Statement of Inquiry
The big idea for today is Case study .
The essential questions for this topic are:
What are new technologies and how can we understand them better?
It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to

case study (which is connected to today's daily note),

.
We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
Reminders & routines:
Please read and follow these reminders:
- IF today == testing_day_for_me:
remember to go get tested!
- IF today == Friday:
current_event_activity()
- Please check now: is visual studio code working from my programming folder?
