Written Responses: Answer the following questions after researching your innovation and creating your artifact. The total length for responses to 2a-2d (excludes references) much not exceed 700 words and must be submitted as a PDF

2a. Provide information on your computing innovation and computational artifact. Name the computing innvation that is represented by your computational artifact. Describe the computing innovation's intended purpose and function. Describe how your computational artifact illustrates, represents, or explains the computing innovation's intended purpose, its function, or its effect. (up to 100 words)

2b. Describe your development process, explicitly identifying the computing tools and techniques you used to create your artifact. Your description must be detailed enough so that a person unfamiliar with those techniques will understand your process. (up to 100 words)

2c. Explain at least one beneficial effect and at least one harmful effect the computing innovation has had, or has the potential to have, on society, economy, or culture. (up to 250 words)

2d. Using specific details, describe the data your innovation uses; how the innovation consumes (as input), produces (as output), and/or transforms data; and at least one data storage concern, data privacy concern, or data security concern directly related to the computing innovation. (up to 250 words)

2e. Provide a list of at least three online or print resources used to create your computational artifact and/or support your responses through in-text citation to the prompts above. (See the full directions for reference details.)
