2. Use a computing device to search for and document how governments or organizations experienced data leaks or data loss.

3. Use a computing device to search for and document methods used to securely store sensitive data.

4. Use a computing device to document a study of your school’s security policies and how they affect student activities.

Objective: Use data to perform analysis

Action steps

1. Use a computing device to research and document how to convert hexadecimal color codes to decimal percentages.

2. Use a computing device to research and document the cost, speed, reliability, and privacy between storing photo data on a mobile device versus in the cloud.

3. Use a computing device and the Visualize Free app to perform data visualization of existing data sets on its website and other free data sets in the public domain.

Objective: Use algorithms

Action steps

1. Use a computing device and free online presentation software to create a prototype that demonstrates how the workforce is changing in your country.

2. Use a computing device to identify common features in multiple segments of program code and substitute a single segment that uses lists (arrays) to account for the differences.

3. Use a computing device to compare the readability and program performance of iterative and recursive implementations of procedures that calculate the Fibonacci sequence.

4. Use a computing device to create a mobile app that updates a list of nearby geographical points of interest when the device detects that its location has been changed.

5. Use a computing device to create a web app that connects to an online database through an application programming interface (API).
