Problem-Solving & AI Fundamentals: An Upper-Level Computer Science Bundle

By the time students reach upper-level computer science, they need to move past writing individual programs and start designing solutions — algorithms that generalize, patterns that scale, and applications of AI that go beyond a demo. The Problem-Solving & AI Fundamentals bundle is built for exactly that stage: 5 resources, 285 pages, standards-aligned to CSTA Level 1 and Level 2 Algorithms & Programming strands.

What the Bundle Covers

• Algorithm Design — the Algorithmic Solutions and Algorithm Prototypes units, teaching students to design, test, and refine real solutions to real problems.
• Designing at Scale — generalizable patterns instead of one-off code, for students ready to think like software architects.
• Applied AI — a 161-page curriculum exploring artificial intelligence through game development and real-world projects.
• Computational Artifacts — portfolio-ready projects students can point to as evidence of what they can build.

What's Inside

Every resource includes standards-aligned content and activities, full answer keys, and ready-to-use classroom materials.

Best For

• High school CS teachers covering CSTA Level 1–2 Algorithms & Programming standards
• Students in the AP CS A / AP CSP pathway
• Teachers who want a focused algorithm-design-through-AI-application sequence, without re-teaching fundamentals already covered elsewhere

Why It Works

Algorithm design and applied AI are usually taught as separate units, if AI gets covered at all. This bundle sequences them deliberately — students build the design and testing habits first, then apply those same habits to AI-driven problems, so the AI unit reinforces the algorithm-design skills instead of feeling bolted on.

Every Sooner Standards resource is built directly from official standards — standard text verified, never paraphrased from memory. Aligned to CSTA and Oklahoma Academic Standards for Computer Science; not a state-adopted or state-approved curriculum.
