Learn computing concepts through a combination of online and unplugged activities. Unplugged lessons are hands-on and use physical manipulatives to model computational concepts.
The follow-up online lessons are self-guided and self-paced, and encourage exploration and practice of algorithmic thinking while using graphic coding blocks.
Using the Code Studio platform from code.org,
students create programs with loops, events, and conditionals, and write algorithms for everyday tasks.
Students learn meaningful collaboration with others, investigate different problem solving techniques, societal impacts of computing, and learn about Internet safety.
Our goals for this class:
Learn how to solve interesting problems,
and make cool things with the help of a computer.
As a final project, students will create their own game or story to share.
The study of how computers work,
and what we can do with them.
Programming is simply one way to write out solutions.
Integrating the power of human thinking
with
the capabilities of computers.
Using the fundamental concepts of Computer Science:
What can be computed,
and how to compute it.
