• List out the contributions or significant importance of the focal point.
• Engage your students to think outside the box through higher-level discussion questions:
• What is the definition of progress?
• What are the cost and overall benefits of what we can create?

Statement from Intel Online Tools:
The tools (Visual Ranking, Seeing Reason, Showing Evidence and Assessing Projects) were written over 10 years ago in an application
environment that is dated, lacks flexibility and is too expensive to maintain and update. Similar tools
(https://engage.intel.com/docs/DOC-59367) that are more effective and mobile have since come to market. Furthermore, usage has
been dropping regularly. For these reasons, Intel has decided to take the tools offline by 4-15-2017 and will invest in future products
and programs that will have more impact. Please use these months to save what artifacts you wish to keep, export assessments and
search for alternatives.
