Computer Science Defined

Computer Science instruction may occur as a "stand alone" course of study, OR Computer Science lessons may be integrated within Core subject area units. The Computer Science Team has developed a set of lessons for both approaches. Not to be confused with computer applications, Computer Science may be defined as "the study of computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their hardware and software designs, their implementation, and their impact on society." (Tucker et. al., 2003)
