Computer Science

The purpose of this pathway is to have students receive training in everything from basic coding and how a computer works, to cyber security, robotics, and other parts of Computer Science education. Successful completion of the first class will allow the student to enroll in the cornerstone class, Information Technology Essentials. IT Essentials, RIOT (Rocklin Institute of Technology), allows students to choose one of five teams delving deeper into a more focused part of the Computer Science field. A student could then move into a management role in one of the five teams and direct other IT Essentials students in the Technology Leadership class. There are also two AP Computer Science classes; AP CS Principles and AP CS A. The end goal is for our students to practice problem solving and working on real world applications.
