Course Description: Create, explore and put your imagination to work! Develop your computer programming skills to create projects that support your interests and career goals. Start your computer science learning in a classroom that supports student choice.
Course Objectives:
- Creative Development: When developing computing
innovations, developers can use a formal, iterative design
process or a less rigid process of experimentation, and will
encounter phases of investigating and reflecting, designing,
prototyping, and testing. Collaboration is an important tool at any
phase of development. - Data: Data is central to computing innovations because they
communicate initial conditions to programs and represent new
knowledge. - Algorithms and Programming: Programmers integrate
algorithms and abstraction to create programs for creative
purposes and to solve problems. - Computing Systems and Networks: Computer systems and
networks are used to transfer data.
Impact of Computing: Computers and computing have
revolutionized our lives. To use computing safely and responsibly.

Late work:
I have planned this course to help you cover the content within the trimester so the assignment due dates are to help you stay on track. That being said life happens and sometimes you need to adjust your schedule so I will accept late work with no penalties. If you are starting to fall behind I will check in with you to see how I can help and if that is not enough then I may involve your guardian to help.
