Computer Science I

The focus of this course is to provide a broad range of programming experience in the exciting field of Computer Science. The course will focus on how to design a computer program that solves practical computational problems by programming in a modern high-level language (Python). You will learn tools, and techniques for developing applications.  Throughout the course you will learn many fundamental concepts vital in the study of computer science through learning the programming language Python. This introductory course will implement significant language features, programming practices and application programs using Python programming language. Topics covered include developing programs, logic, debugging code, graphics, variables, looping structures, lists, and  dictionaries. Sophomores, juniors and seniors may elect to earn 3 college credits at reduced tuition rates from STAC.
