Physical Computing
In Physical Computing, students will design and build functioning electronic circuits using microcontrollers like the Arduino Uno, single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi, and embedded-systems programming. Students will learn and apply knowledge of circuit design to identify electronic components and assemble circuits on a breadboard. Students will utilize a variety of programming environments and languages, for example: Arduino, C++, Node.js, and Python to give functionality to their circuits. This course culminates with a student-designed prototype project.
Introduction to Computer Science
In this CSTA 3A-aligned course, students will learn foundations of computer science and basic programming, emphasizing logical thinking and problem-solving skills. This course is designed for complete beginners with no previous background in computer science or text-based programming. The course is highly visual, dynamic, and interactive, making it engaging for new coders. Students will develop proficiency in procedural programming and logical thinking using common programming languages, including JavaScript and Python. It covers all concepts in the CSTA framework, including Algorithms & Programming, Computing Systems, Data and Analysis, Impacts of Computing, and Networks & the Internet, and provides students a strong foundation to advance to AP® Computer Science Principles and/or AP® Computer Science A (Java).
