Level 2 (Grades 6-8)
Computing Systems
- 02 - Design projects that combine hardware and soware components to collect and exchange data.
- 03 - Systematically identify and fix problems with computing devices and their components.
Networks & the Internet
- 04 - Model the role of protocols in transmitting data across networks and the Internet.
Data and analysis
- 07 - Represent data using multiple encoding schemes.
- 08 - Collect data using computational tools and transform the data to make it more useful and reliable.
- 09 - Refine computational models based on the data they have generated.
Algorithms and programming
- 11 - Create clearly named variables that represent different data types and perform operations on their values.
- 13 - Decompose problems and subproblems into parts to facilitate the design, implementation, and review of programs.
- 17 - Systematically test and refine programs using a range of test cases.
- 19 - Document programs in order to make them easier to follow, test, and debug.
