Unit 6: Automated & Emerging Technology (IGCSE Computer Science)

This material is designed to help students prepare for Paper 1. It includes a compilation of all the questions from Unit 6: Unit 6: Automated & Emerging Technology (IGCSE Computer Science), presented in PowerPoint format. This format allows for easy assignment distribution and efficient grading. I have personally used these resources in class, and they have proven to be both time-saving and effective. The questions are arranged in chronological order, from the earliest to the most recent. These materials are ideal for students taking the test this year.
