In this unit, students learn about the problem-solving process, the input-output-store-process model of a computer, and how computers help humans solve problems. Learning in this unit will allow students to:

• Identify the defined characteristics of a computer and how it is used to solve information problems.
• Use a structured problem-solving process to address problems and design solutions that use computing technology.
• Create a collaborative classroom environment where students view computer science as relevant, fun, and empowering.
