10

9-12.AP.PD.4

Design and develop computational artifacts working in team roles using collaborative tools.

11

9-12.AP.PD.5

Document design decisions using text, graphics, presentations, and/or demonstrations in the development of complex programs.

12

9-12.CS.D.1

Explain how abstractions hide the underlying implementation details of computing systems embedded in everyday objects.

13

9-12.CS.HS.1

Compare levels of abstraction and interactions between application software, system software, and hardware layers.

14

9-12.CS.T.1

Develop guidelines that convey systematic troubleshooting strategies that others can use to identify and fix errors.

15

9-12.DA.S.1

Translate between different bit representations of real-world phenomena, such as characters, numbers, and images (e.g., convert hexadecimal colors to decimal percentages, ASCII/Unicode representation).

16

9-12.DA.S.2

Evaluate the tradeoffs in how data elements are organized and where data is stored.

17

9-12.DA.CVT.1

Create interactive data visualizations or alternative representations using software tools to help others better understand real-world phenomena.

18

9-12.DA.IM.1

Create computational models that represent the relationships among different elements of data collected from a phenomenon, process, or model.

19

9-12.IC.C.1

Evaluate the ways computing impacts personal, ethical, social, economic, and cultural practices.

20

9-12.IC.C.2

Test and refine computational artifacts to reduce bias and equity deficits.

21

9-12.IC.C.3

Demonstrate ways a given algorithm applies to problems across disciplines.

22

9-12.IC.C.4

Explain the potential impacts of artificial intelligence on society.
