Section C: Definitions

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

Community impact is how a solution
affects people beyond its user.

Free homework help is a benefit for kids.

Too much screen time is a possible harm.

If an app needs the internet, some people
may be left out of using it.

Impact = benefits, harms, who is left out

Section E: Spot the Error

A — Community impact is about people beyond the user. The first step should ask who else the app affects, not just who uses it.

C — Parents seeing bus times is a benefit, not a harm. A possible harm is a problem, such as showing where kids live.

A — Being fun does not leave anyone out. The condition should check something that can exclude people, like needing the internet.

B — Families who have internet are not left out. The condition should be 'no internet', because those families cannot use the app.

B — This loop counts benefits, so it should repeat for each helpful effect, not each harmful one.
