The class interacts with several different apps, determining which information should be stored for later and why. The input-output-storage-processing model of computing is then presented in full, and the class reflects on how various apps use each of the components, and how the model impacts whether or not something should be considered a computer.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                                    <div class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-item\">\r\n                        <div class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-title bdt-accordion-title bdt-flex bdt-flex-middle bdt-flex-between\" id=\"bdt-ep-accordion-lesson-8-project-propose-an-app\" data-accordion-index=\"7\" data-title=\"lesson-8-project-propose-an-app\" role=\"heading\">\r\n\r\n                                                            <span class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-icon bdt-flex-align-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n\r\n                                                                            <span class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-icon-closed\">\r\n                                            <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-fw fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>                                        <\/span>\r\n                                    \r\n                                                                            <span class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-icon-opened\">\r\n                                            <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-fw fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i>                                        <\/span>\r\n                                    \r\n                                <\/span>\r\n                            \r\n                            <span class=\"bdt-ep-title-text bdt-flex bdt-flex-middle\">\r\n\r\n                                                                Lesson 8: Project - Propose an App                            <\/span>\r\n\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-content bdt-accordion-content\">\r\n                            <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To conclude the study of the problem solving process and the input\/output\/store\/process model of a computer, the class proposes apps designed to solve real world problems.
