By the end of the course, students will have a solid understanding of programming concepts and be able to apply them to solve problems. They will also have a good foundation in computer science and be well-prepared for further study in this field.
Learning Outcomes
- The practices and principles of computer science, such as computational thinking, computers and society, and creative design.
- How to analyze problems in computational terms and understand concepts such as abstraction, logic, algorithms, computer systems, data representation and evaluation.
- Programming languages (Scratch, Python, HTML, CSS) and how to read, write, test and modify computer programs.
- The process of designing computational artifacts such as web pages, digital animations, simulations, games, and robotic systems.
- The ethical, historical, environmental, and technological aspects of computer science, and how it impacts the social and economic development of society.
