Standard 1B-CS-01

Describe how internal and external parts of computing devices function to form a system

How it’s addressed

Students interact with the robot as part of a computing system.

Standard 1B-CS-02

Model how computer hardware and software work together as a system to accomplish tasks.

How it’s addressed

Students use software to control hardware components in the robot.

Standard 1B-CS-03

Determine potential solutions to solve simple hardware and software problems using common troubleshooting strategies.

How it’s addressed

As students interact with the robot in different environments, they will encounter various problems that they need to solve.

Standard 1B-DA-07

Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most appropriate.

How it’s addressed

Students complete various open tasks that have multiple solutions, some of which are more efficient or appropriate for the given mission.

Standard 1B-AP-10

Create programs that include sequences, events, loops, and conditionals.

How it’s addressed

Students use sequencing and loops to create programs to accomplish various tasks.

Standard 1B-AP-11

Decompose (break down) problems into smaller, manageable subproblems to facilitate the program development process.

How it’s addressed

Students must decompose complex paths and geometric figures into their component parts, then combine algorithms that reproduce those parts to create a more complex program.

Standard 1B-AP-12

Modify, remix, or incorporate portions of an existing program into one’s own work, to develop something new or add more advanced features.

How it’s addressed

Students are often given code that is incomplete or flawed and asked to extend or modify the code in some way.

Standard 1B-CS-07

Test and debug (identify and fix errors) a program or algorithm to ensure it runs as intended.

How it’s addressed

Students must test and debug their code, as well as run tests and debug code that is given to them.
