Students take on the role of a downhill skier navigating a course filled with flags and turns. They must steer their skier using precise movements and quick reflexes while maintaining speed to reach the finish line quickly. Students can upgrade their skier’s speed, edging, agility, and power, in order to improve performance in subsequent races.

• Grade Levels: grades 1+
• Skills Developed: coordination, timing, and strategic planning
• Standards Addressed:
  ISTE Standards for Computational Thinking - students practice adaptive thinking and problem solving by experimenting with different strategies for navigating courses and optimizing skier attributes
  
• Classroom Use:
  Data Analysis - discuss tracking improvements in race times and analyzing the impact of different upgrades on performance
  Reflection Activity - students reflect on their race strategies: what worked well and what they would change to improve future performance
