Level 2 (Grades 6-8)
Computing Systems
- 02 — Design projects that combine hardware and software components to collect and exchange data.
- 03 — Systematically identify and fix problems with computing devices and their components.
Data & 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 & 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.
