Description
The primary purpose of this course is to introduce students to the breadth of the computer science field through an exploration of engaging and accessible topics. Focused on the conceptual ideas of computing, it helps students understand why certain tools or languages might be utilized to solve particular problems.   The goal is to develop the computational thinking practices of algorithm development, problem solving, and programming within the context of problems that are relevant to the lives of today’s students. They will also be introduced to interface design, limits of computers, and societal and ethical issues. Students should be able to analyze the effects of developments in computing.     Students will complete Microsoft Office Suite (MOS) training modules and have the opportunity to take the MOS certification exam. Students who complete the MOS exam successfully earn a MOS certification.   This is also serves as the first course in the three-year sequence for students enrolled in a CTE Information Technology track.
