    What is a computer?

    <p>A computer is an electronic device that can process and store information. It accepts input from a user, processes the information, and produces output, often in the form of visual displays, audio, or printed documents. Computers can perform a wide variety of tasks, from simple calculations to managing complex systems.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Choose an app. Use this example to explain input, processing, storage, and input.

    <p>Let's take the example of a weather app.</p> <ol> <li> <p><strong>Input:</strong> The app receives input from various sources, such as weather sensors, weather stations, and satellite data. This data is the raw information that the app uses.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Processing:</strong> The app processes the gathered data to generate forecasts, calculate temperature, humidity, wind speed, and other weather conditions. It uses algorithms and models to make predictions and provide meaningful insights for the user.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Storage:</strong> The app might store historical data or user preferences so it can provide personalized information. Data is efficiently organized within the device's storage.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Output.</strong> The app presents the processed information to the user through a visual interface, such as displaying maps, charts, and textual descriptions of weather conditions. The user can also interact with the app by using gestures or buttons, sending new input back to the app.</p> </li> </ol> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the difference between HTML and CSS?

    <p>HTML (HyperText Markup Language) provides the structure and content of a webpage. It defines the layout, headings, paragraphs, images, and other elements. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) controls the visual presentation and styling of the webpage. It defines the colors, fonts, sizes, spacing, and overall appearance.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Why should students who did NOT choose to be in this elective class still give their best effort to master the lessons from the Code.org curriculum?

    <p>Developing computational thinking skills is valuable in today's world, regardless of career path. Critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration—all emphasized in computer science—are transferable to nearly every field. Even if students don't choose to pursue technology careers, the skills they gain from computer science can benefit them across various academic and professional endeavors.</p> Signup and view all the answers
