Unit 6: How Computers Work

After the Create Task, all of the CSP curriculum framework has been addressed. Units 6–8 contain additional material that’s important to computer science, but some or all of these units may be covered after the AP exam.

In this unit, we’ll break down on the functionality of computers: what we know about them as we use them, the components of computers that let us use them, and what makes the components of computers work.
