Full Year Grades 9 – 12
Minimum Prerequisites: approval of program director.
Required for all Engineering students, elective for other students with approval of the program director. In Computer Science Essentials, students will use visual, block-based programming and seamlessly transition to text-based programming with languages such as Python to create apps and develop websites, and learn how to make computers work together to put their design into practice. They’ll apply computational thinking practices, build their vocabulary, and collaborate just as computing professionals do to create products that address topics and problems important to them.
