The Bits and Bots curriculum covers 4 of the 5 key concept areas; Impacts of Computing, Computational Thinking, Cybersecurity and Networks and Systems Design. Please see the resource: A Year of Digital Literacy, for the final key concept area of Digital Literacy.
New York State is looking to fully implement the Computer Science and Digital Fluency Learning Standards by the 2024-2025 school year.
