2021–22 Course Catalog

Technology Department Head- TBD The Technology department offers courses that provide students the opportunity to develop their computational thinking skills through a wide range of computer science, and engineering and design applications. Whether learning how to program in HTML or Python or designing and troubleshooting the construction of their own designs, students are required to work iteratively and to reason through challenging problems that do not have a single solution. At every turn, Technology department faculty strive to contextualize course content in real-world situations and to explore the many ways in which technology is transforming our world today on a global scale.

These offerings are designed for all students, both those who are excited to learn about the field and expand upon their knowledge base and those who have a proven passion for computer science and engineering.

For the 2021-2022 school year Lincoln will be offering two Computer Science courses through One Schoolhouse, an online independent school consortium of which Lincoln School is a member. Lincoln School will cover the cost of the One Schoolhouse tuition for Computer Science courses. However, if a student chooses to drop a One Schoolhouse course after the school year begins, families will be required to reimburse Lincoln the full cost of the tuition.

Please Note: Students considering pursuing Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, or Physics at the college level should speak to the chair of the Technology Department and the director of College Counseling about course sequence.

Introduction to Computer Science- One Schoolhouse online course Yearlong Course—Open to Grades 9–12 The goal of this course is to introduce students to some of the major areas of computer science as well as develop their programming skills to produce useful solutions and creative artifacts. Throughout the course, students conduct research and investigate current issues and innovations enabled by the application of computer science, such as virtual reality, robotics, cloud computing, cybersecurity, the Internet of Things, and e-commerce. Students learn fundamental computer programming concepts using a simple but powerful 41
