Knowledge of specific advanced terms of computer architecture and how specific levels work is not required. Rather the progression, in general terms, from voltage to binary signal to logic gates and so on to the level of human interaction, should be explored. 

Ideas:

• Don't Touch the Art

Some examples of multi-step troubleshooting problems include resolving connectivity problems, adjusting system configurations and settings, ensuring hardware and software compatibility, and transferring data from one device to another. 

Ideas:

•  Identify and address common issues in the art creation process, such as artist's block, material limitations, and technique difficulties

The focus is on understanding the design decisions that direct the coordination among systems composing the Internet that allow for scalability and reliability. Discussions should consider historical, cultural, and economic decisions related to the development of the Internet, as well as the core components of servers and routers.
