Computer Science Foundations: This introductory course is one semester in length. Students gain a better understanding of key concepts in computing, including hardware, data, and coding.
AP Computer Science Principles:
A full-year class that is equivalent to a college-level introduction to computer science course. Students learn how the Internet works, how computing affects our society, and fundamental concepts in programming, including using variables, iteration, and abstraction to write algorithms.
Cybersecurity: This full-year course is designed to expose students to the fundamental aspects of information security, while encouraging them to make responsible, ethical decisions. There are frequent opportunities to explore educational and career paths in this rapidly-growing field. The four main units of study are personal security, system security, network security, and applied cybersecurity.
Teacher
Michael Stroh
I grew up in Upstate NY and earned my bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the State University of New York at Albany. I've been teaching computer science in Colorado since 2007. I am passionate about reaching all learners and encouraging all students to learn computer science. I earned a master's degree in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education from CU Denver and continue to strive to grow as a learner and an educator. When I'm not at my computer, I enjoy spending time outside gardening and hiking.
Coding Club
Coding Club: Students improve their coding skills and hang out with their friends two days a week after school. Students have the opportunity to participate in several competitions throughout the year.
