Goal: CSTA K–12 Computer Science Standards: Computer science, Grades K–2

## 1. Algorithms and Programming

- [Step-by-Step Instructions](https://ai.page/c/step-by-step-instructions/index.md): Step-by-step instructions for everyday tasks (making a sandwich, brushing teeth); that if instructions are wrong or missing, things go wrong; computers follow instructions exactly
- [Data and Information for Computers](https://ai.page/c/data-and-information-for-computers/index.md): What data is: information that computers use — numbers, words, pictures, sounds; everything a computer knows comes from data that people give it

## 2. Networks and the Internet

- [Patterns and Classification](https://ai.page/c/patterns-and-classification/index.md): Humans are great at spotting patterns; computers can learn to spot patterns too, but they need lots of examples; sorting and classification activities as the basis of machine learning

## 3. Computing Systems

- [Computers in Everyday Life](https://ai.page/c/computers-in-everyday-life/index.md): Identifying computers in everyday life — not just laptops but phones, tablets, smart speakers, traffic lights, washing machines; what makes something a computer
