Digital access audit

Evaluate four targeted interventions within a fixed fictional budget and distinguish device access from connectivity, language and skills.

1. Predict first

Four disjoint groups need connectivity(20 people), devices(15), language support(10)or skills support(5). Other needs are met. Which barrier does a device scheme directly address, and which remain?

Change it · step through · explain

Change an input, predict what will happen, then advance one step. Read why the state changes, reset and experiment. This fixed teaching model does not save progress or award XP.

Ready · Make a prediction

Ready to experiment

Why: Predict the first change, then advance one step.

Try this: Try a budget one below the cost, then exactly equal to the cost.

2. Build your procedure

Choose an affordable intervention from the tool, document its cost and addressed group, and justify what to measure next. If you propose a combination, state its total cost explicitly.

Use AP CSP pseudocode, a language you know, or precise plain language. Your code is not executed here. Use the classroom assignment to save your response.

3. Check boundaries

budget 20; connectivity interventionAffordable;20 people targetedThe model assumes other needs already met.

4. Explain and reflect

Why should these group counts not be used as a claim about an actual community?

Model limits: Fixed fictional groups and one selected intervention. It does not optimise social priorities, allocate real resources or guarantee access.
