Preparing students for high-wage earnings by equipping them with advanced communication skills, creative thinking and problem solving skills.
Computer Science Foundations
Prerequisites: None
Computer Science Foundations is a course intended to provide students with exposure to various information technology occupations and pathways such as Networking Systems, Coding, Web Design, and Cybersecurity.
Computer Applications
Prerequisites: None
Throughout Computer Applications students learn Microsoft products Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access . At the conclusion of this class students are required to take an articulation exam that provides three hours of college credit for students scoring a C or higher. This course is designed to develop & enhance computer technology skills. Students use a variety of computer software and hardware tools and features of an electronic information network. Students explore the social, business, and ethical issues of using computer technology.
Students who are enrolled in this course are eligible to join FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) which provides opportunities for community service activities, leadership, and multi-level competitions.
Game Programming
Prerequisite: None
This course challenges students to develop advanced skills in programming design and coding of games. Course content is reinforced through numerous short and long-term programming projects, accomplished both individually and in small groups. These projects are meant to hone the discipline and logical thinking skills necessary to craft error-free syntax for the writing and testing of programs. Upon completion of this course, proficient students will demonstrate an understanding of object-oriented programming language using high level languages.

Coding 1
Prerequisites: Computer Science Foundations
Coding 1 covers a basic introduction to the principles of programming, including algorithms and logic. Students engage in hands-on programming tasks a programming language as they write and test their own code using the approaches real programmers use in the field. Students will program with variables, functions and arguments, and lists and loops, providing a solid foundation for more advanced study as well as practical skills they can use immediately.
Introduction to Mobile App Development
Prerequisites: Computer Science Foundations, Coding 1
Introduction to Mobile Application continues to develop student programming knowledge using the language Swift and students develop mobile apps within an iOS platform. Students also develop a knowledge of the history and business aspects of mobile application development. Students design a mobile application as a group project utilizing the storyboard tools within Xcode.
