Exploring Computer Science

This course will provide students with foundational knowledge of computer science. The curriculum aligns well with college preparation coursework as well as Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways including: Information Technology; Engineering and Design; and Arts, Media and Entertainment Technology.

Coursework focuses on both computer science content and computational practices, and units utilize a variety of tools and platforms.
An inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning frames the instructional design of the curriculum.
Assignments and instruction are contextualized to be socially relevant and meaningful for diverse students.

Throughout the course students will understand algorithm development related to computer applications and gain technical expertise using computational tools.

There are seven units of study in this course:

Unit 1: Human Computer Interaction
Unit 2: Problem Solving
Unit 3: Web Design
Unit 4: Programming
Unit 5: Computing and Data Analysis
Unit 6: Robotics
Unit 7: Artificial Intelligence
