Students will apply computational thinking to address the real-life problem of not knowing who to vote for president by decomposing their political ideology into “personal” and “economic” subcomponents and start self-reflecting on political issues so they cast a vote for the candidate and his/her platform that most aligns with their beliefs as opposed to basing it on propaganda and/or voting for a candidate who doesn’t agree with them on specific issues (an uninformed vote).

This is part of a series of lessons commissioned by the Democracy Project at the University of Virginia centered around the podcast Democracy in Danger.Democracy in Danger  lessons share some basic characteristics.   In each of these inquiries, the explicit or implicit question is, “What should we do about .. “ because that is an essential question we must ask of all of our citizens.   Additionally,  Democracy in Danger lessons  will lead students through a problem analysis characterized by the 4A approach (assses the problem, analyze the causes and effects of the problem, address  potential solutions to the problem, act on a potential solution.   We hope to make this type of problem analysis process a routine that young people can transfer to any new challenge that we face in our democracy and that it will pave the way for healthy deliberation with their fellow students, to collaboratively act together, and to forge healthy civic friendships that will strengthen our democracy.
