Coding I
Coding I
Required
Required
Number of credits: 0.5
The Coding I Course (semester) prepares students to write code using sound coding techniques. Students will use the engineering design process to solve real world problems. Students will gain firsthand knowledge of coding tools, techniques and devices.
Course Note: This course satisfies either the Career Technical Education (.5 of 1.5 credit) graduation requirement or Career Technical Education - Computer Technology (.5 of .5) graduation requirement. (Wiesbaden High School Only)
Coding II
Coding II
Required
Required
Number of credits: 0.5
The Coding II Course(semester) prepares students to build interface circuits and write code that turns digital devices into intelligent machines. Students will use the engineering design process to solve real world problems. Students will learn how to build and code relevant solutions in STEM, and in turn, invent things that perform interesting and useful tasks.
Course Note: This course satisfies either the Career Technical Education (.5 of 1.5 credit) graduation requirement or Career Technical Education - Computer Technology (.5 of .5) graduation requirement. (Wiesbaden High School Only)
