This course focuses on introducing students to the concept of computer programming. The objective of this course is to teach students the logic and skills required for understanding computer programming. Students will use two software applications to learn the basics, as well as begin to design and write simple computer programs. The course begins using Scratch, a visual drag-and-drop type of coding application to understand coding basics before moving on to C++, a text-based coding language.
This course is a semester-long course, schedule for the first semester of the school year.
During the 2020-2021 school year, a weekly agenda will be provided to students and families can anticipate what lessons and assignments are upcoming. Due to the fluid nature of teaching, as well as the current learning environment, the agenda may change as the week evolves. Any changes will be reflected on the agenda, as well as due dates in Google Classroom.
