Class Overview & Summer Information
Class Overview & Summer Information
We will be using the Code.org curriculum, which is entirely online. There is no physical textbook for this class. I may have some supplemental reading from a Java textbook, but will either provide this digitally, or print off what is needed.
You will have a summer assignment to refresh your skills before we jump right in when school starts.
Please don't start on it too soon. There is not a lot to it, so I would rather you start on it in August so your coding skills will be slightly fresher.
The link will be at the top right as well as linked in the heading of this section once it is available.
