1. Key Concepts
1.1. Abstraction, which underpins all content, particularly the content descriptions relating to the concepts of data representation and specification, algorithms and implementation
1.2. Data collection (properties, sources and collection of data), data representation (symbolism and separation) and data interpretation (patterns and contexts)
1.3. Specification (descriptions and techniques), algorithms (following and describing) and implementation (translating and programming)
1.4. Digital systems (hardware, software, and networks and the internet)
1.5. Interactions (people and digital systems, data and processes) and impacts (sustainability and empowerment).
