Kavi's Secondary-Ready Showcase

"Look how far you've climbed!" Kavi cheered, spreading both wings wide. "You can decompose a big problem, write code that runs, and debug it one careful step at a time. You know a computer thinks in 0s and 1s, that the CPU fetches, decodes and executes, and that data races across the network in packets. You can clean a dataset and show it in an honest chart — and you verify before you trust, ask permission, credit your sources, and question a deepfake." Kavi puffed up proudly. "Today is your showcase — bring together every Stage-6 skill and show the world you are secondary-ready, right across ICT!"

What your child will learn

1A secondary-ready technologistThis whole stage you grew six big skills across the whole of ICT. Tap each one to remember what you can now do.

2One program, every building blockA secondary-ready coder uses every building block at once — steps in order (sequence), a loop (iteration), a choice (selection), and a function to reuse. Press ▶ Run and watch it work.

3Sort each skill into its home

4Put coding and judgement togetherA secondary-ready technologist can trace a program line by line — and think carefully about data and sources. Work each one out, then reveal.

A peek inside

Trace this plan: set lives = 3. REPEAT 3 times: IF a trap is hit, take 1 life. A trap is hit on exactly 2 of the 3 rounds. How many lives are left?

start at 3, and only the 2 traps take a life: 3 − 1 − 1 = 1

Try this at home: Name the three building blocks every program is built from.
