In this course, students learn about algorithms and programming using the Python programming language. They also learn the impacts of computing, with a focus on possible career opportunities in computer science as well as the ethical and professional standards expected of computer scientists. This is the first half of a two-part Computer Science series.
This course uses Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes (KSA) model to give students the opportunity to develop both real-world 21st Century Skills and Social and Emotional Learning Soft Skills to develop college and career readiness.
- Knowledge: Computer Science, Part 1
- Skill: Critical Thinking—Design Thinking
- Attribute: Responsibility
