    • It could mean the total number of primitive operations performed by the turtle.
    • It could mean number of lines of code.
    • It could hinge on the ability to reuse code within your own code.
    • It could be about the speed and clarity with which you can write the program.
  • Abstraction: a simplified representation of something more complex. Abstractions allow you to hide details to help you manage complexity, focus on relevant concepts, and reason about problems at a higher level.
  • Function: a named group of programming instructions. Functions are reusable abstractions that reduce the complexity of writing and maintaining programs
  • Top Down Design - a problem solving approach (also known as stepwise design) in which you break down a system to gain insight into the sub-systems that make it up.
  • API - a collection of commands made available to a programmer
  • Documentation - a description of the behavior of a command, function, library, API, etc.
  • Hexadecimal - A base-16 number system that uses sixteen distinct symbols 0-9 and A-F to represent numbers from 0 to 15.
  • Library - a collection of commands / functions, typically with a shared purpose
  • Parameter - An extra piece of information that you pass to the function to customize it for a specific need.
  • A "Comment" block doesn't do anything when you run the code. It is simply a way to leave notes in code. Programmers write comments into their code for two main reasons:
    1. sharing code with other programmers
    2. remembering their own thoughts or plans for code they write.

Important Programming Vocab-

  • Programming Language- A coding language used to dictate specific instructions to a computer.
  • Programming Environment- A tool where you write and run computer programs. Ex. App Lab
  • Turtle Programming - a classic method for learning programming with commands to control movement and drawing of an on-screen robot called a "turtle". The turtle hearkens back to early implementations in which children programmed a physical robot whose dome-like shape was reminiscent of a turtle.
  • Algorithm - A precise sequence of instructions for processes that can be executed by a computer
  • Iterate - To repeat in order to achieve, or get closer to, a desired goal.
  • Selection - A generic term for a type of programming statement (usually an if-statement) that uses a Boolean condition to determine, or select, whether or not to run a certain block of statements.
  • Boolean Condition- Using Boolean expressions (true/false) inside conditionals (if/else). Thanks to conditionals, programs can respond differently based on different inputs and parameters.
  • Conditionals- programming element that allows a computer to make decisions depending on specific criteria. They enable a program to execute distinct code branches based on particular conditions.
  • Sequencing - Putting commands in correct order so computers can read the commands.
  • Abstraction: a simplified representation of something more complex. Abstractions allow you to hide details to help you manage complexity, focus on relevant concepts, and reason about problems at a higher level.

  • Key Takeaways
  • Data that may not seem private, like a birthdate or zipcode, can be combined to uniquely identify you.
    • Personally Identifiable Information (PII): information about an individual that identifies, links, relates, or describes them.
      • Technology enables the collection, use, and exploitation of information about, by and for individuals, groups, and institutions. Geolocation, cookies, and browsing history can all be used to create knowledge about an individual. Most digital technology needs some kind of PII to work (for example street navigation needs to know your location or PII stored online to simplify making online purchases). 
      • Other times websites collect more data to improve their services.
      • Many services and websites collect information (like your browser history) that can be used to advertise to you by creating detailed profiles of who you are and what you like. Search engines also can record and maintain a history of searches made by users. This information can be used to suggest websites or for for targeted marketing.
      • Once data is made digital, and especially once it's shared online, it's much harder to control. 
      • PII can be used to steal the identity of a person, or stalk them online. Information that is often posted on social media can be combined to create a profile on you.

 

Hacks and Attacks-

  • Video- The Internet: Cybersecurity & Crime (5min)
    • Computer Virus- A computer virus is a program that spreads by first infecting files or the system areas of a computer or network router's hard drive and then making copies of itself. Some viruses are harmless, others may damage data files, and some may destroy files.
    • Keylogging- The use of a computer program to record every keystroke made by a computer user, especially in order to gain fraudulent access to passwords and other confidential information.
    • Phishing- The fraudulent practice of sending emails purporting to be from reputable companies in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.
    • Spear Fishing- a type of phishing campaign that targets a specific person or group and often will include information known to be of interest to the target, such as current events, personal names, or financial documents.
    • Malware- Malware (short for “malicious software”) is a file or code, typically delivered over a network, that infects, explores, steals or conducts virtually any behavior an attacker wants. And because malware comes in so many variants, there are numerous methods to infect computer systems.
    • Ransomware- Ransomware is a malware designed to deny a user or organization access to files on their computer. By encrypting these files and demanding a ransom payment for the decryption key, cyberattackers place organizations in a position where paying the ransom is the easiest and cheapest way to regain access to their files.
    • DDoS Attack- DDoS Attack means "Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attack" and it is a cybercrime in which the attacker floods a server with internet traffic to prevent users from accessing connected online services and sites.

AI-

  • Since its beginning, artificial intelligence has come under scrutiny from scientists and the public alike. One common theme is the idea that machines will become so highly developed that humans will not be able to keep up and they will take off on their own, redesigning themselves at an exponential rate.
  • Weak artificial intelligence embodies a system designed to carry out one particular job. Weak AI systems include video games such as the chess example from above and personal assistants such as Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri. You ask the assistant a question, and it answers it for you.
  • Strong artificial intelligence systems are systems that carry on the tasks considered to be human-like. These tend to be more complex and complicated systems. They are programmed to handle situations in which they may be required to problem solve without having a person intervene. These kinds of systems can be found in applications like self-driving cars or in hospital operating rooms.
  • Machine Learning- is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. It is a branch of artificial intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention.
  • Bias- Machine Learning bias, also known as algorithm bias or Artificial Intelligence bias, refers to the tendency of algorithms to reflect human biases.  It is a phenomenon that arises when an algorithm delivers systematically biased results as a consequence of erroneous assumptions of the Machine Learning process Examples- Race, Gender, Economic, Religion, etc…

IBM Watson!-

  • Video- Supercomputer: Watson(IBM computing system) - Documentary
  • What is inside Watson- a cluster of ninety IBM Power 750 servers, each of which uses a 3.5 GHz POWER7 eight-core processor, with four threads per core. In total, the system has 2,880 POWER7 processor threads and 16 terabytes of RAM.

  • Video- Text compression widget with Aloe Blacc
  • Lesson 9- Students use the Text Compression Widget to experiment with compressing songs and poems and try to find their ‘personal best’ compression. A video introduces important vocabulary for the lesson and demonstrates the full features of the widget. Students pick a text they think will be ‘easy’ to compress and one they think will be ‘difficult’, paying attention to why some texts might be more compressible than others. As a wrap-up, students discuss what factors make some texts more compressible than others.
  • Lesson 10- Students are introduced to lossy compression via the Lossy Text Compression widget. They apply this concept and their prior knowledge of sampling to create their own lossy compressions of image files using the Lossy Image Widget. Students then discuss several practical scenarios where they need to decide whether to use a lossy or lossless compression algorithm. The lesson ends with a discussion of the situations where lossless compression is important and the situations where lossy compression is important.
  • Using abbreviations and symbols is a form of compression, where we try to represent the same information with fewer characters.
  • Use the Text Compression Widget to experiment with compressing songs and poems and try to find your ‘personal best’ compression.
  • The widget we are using is an example of lossless compression
  • The compression percentage at the bottom of the screen is calculated by comparing the number of bytes in the original message and the number of bytes in the compressed message.

  • We know how computers count using binary, but what about text, words, sentaces?
  • Representing Text in Binary
    • ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is one of the most common character encoding standards.
    • Originally developed from telegraphic codes, ASCII is now widely used in electronic communication for conveying text. As computers can only understand numbers, the ASCII code represents text (characters) with different numbers.
    • This is how a computer ‘understands’ and shows text.
    • The original ASCII is based on 128 characters. These are the 26 letters of the English alphabet (both in lower and upper cases); numbers from 0 to 9; and various punctuation marks. In the ASCII code, each of these characters are assigned a decimal number from 0 to 127. For example, the ASCII representation of upper case A is 65 and the lower case a is 97.
