Computer science is an integral part of our lives, shaping virtually everything from the surrounding objects to the ways in which we communicate, travel, work, and play. The computer revolution has just begun, Computer Science is now a key enabler for discovery and innovation in most other fields of endeavor. We know that giving students choice in their learning is a powerful tool for creating fun, engaging, and lasting learning experiences. Computer Science Investigation focuses on the skills that enable students to create and express themselves in a variety of contexts and media. Whether they are developing their own website, designing an app, building a game, or creating a physical computing device, students are empowered to bring their ideas to life and work on their computational thinking.

CSI Course and Unit Scheduling

CSI can be taken as either a semester-long or year-long course. For this reason, and to ensure students who transfer between schools are able to continue to access the course without omissions or duplications, the following units are to be presented in the appropriate semesters. The specific timeline and information for lessons for each unit as well as lesson specific resources can be found in the Time Log. Much of the course utilizes the Code.Org Computer Science Discoveries course.

Fall Semester

Apps & Animation

Unit 1A: Computing Basics & Foundations

Unit 2A: Interactive Animations & Games

Unit 3A: App Design

Spring Semester

Physical Computing & AI

Unit 1B: Physical Computing

Unit 2B: Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

Unit 3B: Data & Society

If additional time remains at the end of either semester, teachers can access information from the Code.Org Computer Science Discoveries course Unit 2: Web Design (for Fall Semester) or the MyCyber unit in Cybersecurity (for Spring Semester). Both can be accessed in the Scope and Sequence.
