CSD Activity Guide Processing

This document provides an activity guide for students to analyze different apps and the types of processing they use to turn inputs into outputs. Students are asked to identify one or two types of processing, such as counting, finding matches, comparing, or using if/then logic, for several example apps. They then explain how the identified processing helps convert the app inputs, like a user's birthday, into specific outputs, like a happy birthday message. Finally, students are prompted to come up with their own app idea and identify its inputs, outputs, processing types, and how processing would transform inputs to outputs.
