This course meets the basic technology graduation requirement. 

This is an INTRODUCTION to computer science suitable for ALL students. It replaces the foundations class offered previously and is a good place to start if you are interested in computer science.

This class is the first course in the Computer Science Completer track (see below).

This class offers a multidisciplinary approach to teaching the underlying principles of computation. The course will introduce students to creative aspects of programming, using abstractions and algorithms, working with large data sets, understandings of the Internet and issues of cybersecurity, and impacts of computing that affect different populations. AP Computer Science Principles will give students the opportunity to use current technologies to solve problems and create meaningful computational artifacts. Together, these aspects of the course make up a rigorous and rich curriculum that aims to broaden participation in computer science.
