📚 The 5 Big Ideas of AP Computer Science Principles
🎨 Big Idea 1: Creative Development (CRD)
Computing is a creative activity; programs are developed through iterative design, collaboration, and problem-solving processes.
📊 Big Idea 2: Data (DAT)
Data enables computational solutions; data is collected, stored, transformed, and analyzed to extract meaning and inform decisions.
⚙️ Big Idea 3: Algorithms & Programming (AAP)
Algorithms and programs enable computational solutions; sequencing, selection, and iteration control program behavior.
🌐 Big Idea 4: Computer Systems & Networks (CSN)
Computer systems and networks enable computational solutions; the internet is a network of networks with layered protocols.
🌍 Big Idea 5: Impact of Computing (IOC)
Computing impacts individuals, communities, and society; responsible innovation requires considering legal, ethical, and cultural factors.
