5. Model Curriculum for K–12 Computer Science
“Computer science (CS) is the study of computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their hardware and software designs, their applications, and their impact on society.
This definition requires that K–12 computer science curricula have the following kinds of elements:
programming
software design
programming languages
programming paradigms
