The Great Data Architecture Challenge: Building Digital Kingdoms

Grade 1290 minutesData Structures Adventure

💬 Communication

Students present their data structure designs to peers, explaining complex technical concepts using clear analogies and visual representations

🧠 Thinking

Students analyze different data structures, evaluate their efficiency, and make strategic decisions about which structure best solves specific computational problems

🤝 Personal & Social

Students collaborate in teams to build data structures, taking responsibility for different components while supporting teammates and celebrating collective problem-solving achievements

🎯 Learning Objectives

  • Analyze and compare the efficiency and applications of arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, and trees in real-world scenarios
  • Design and implement appropriate data structures to solve complex computational problems with consideration for time and space complexity
  • Evaluate trade-offs between different data structures and justify selection criteria for specific use cases in software development
