The North Dakota Computer Science and Cybersecurity Content Standards provide educational guidelines for school and district curriculum development. These standards focus on developing a basic understanding of computing devices and systems, the algorithmic processes, human-technology interactions, and their impacts on society. This discipline provides learners with basic strategies to protect the networks, devices, and data of individuals and organizations from unauthorized access or criminal use of information on the Internet.
These standards are being revised and scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2025. Schools and districts are encouraged to become familiar with the standards and review and align local curriculum and instructional materials to fully implement the new standards in 2026-2027.
