1
Students connect the process of developing a computing artifact (ex. computer application, web application, operating system, artificial intelligence) with the skills needed during the development process to have a better understanding of what it takes to build a computing artifact.4565.D3.1
2
Use the design process to iteratively develop a computing artifact.4565.D3.2
3
Demonstrate competencies of programming constructs, including use of data types and variables, control structures (sequencing, looping, branching), and modularity (such as a function).4565.D3.3
4
Understand how abstractions hide implementation details when used in everyday objects.4565.D3.4
5
Use abstraction to manage program complexity (such as a function to create recallable code).4565.D3.5
6
Formulate algorithms using programming structures to decompose a complex problem. 4565.D3.6
7
Assess a program by testing to verify correct behavior.4565.D3.7
8
Construct a computing artifact that has a user interface. 4565.D3.8
9
Produce an artifact that includes rich media (e.g., text, graphics, animations, or video).4565.D3.9
10
Illustrate knowledge of good programming practice including the use of conventional standards and comments.4565.D3.10

Recommend security measures to address various scenarios based on factors such as efficiency, feasibility, and ethical implications.4565.D5.5
6
Discuss the laws surrounding intellectual property.4565.D5.6
7
Examine tradeoffs in computing technologies through current events related to broad ideas including privacy, communication, and automation (i.e. driverless cars can increase convenience and reduce accidents, but they are susceptible to hacking. The emerging industry will reduce the number of taxi and ride-share drivers but will create software engineering and cybersecurity jobs).4565.D5.7
