Computer Science 6

In this computer science course, students will use the design process to create interactive animations and games. Students will begin by exploring simple, primitive shape-making and then build their skills to create more complex sprite-based games. In the final project, students will develop a personalized interactive game.

Computer Science 7

We use devices every day that utilize some sort of computer component. From smart bulbs to cars to phones to vacuums, we live in a world that is becoming more and more dependent on technology to meet our everyday needs. This course will explore the history of how technology has come to be, the impacts of computing devices on everyday life, and how the design process works to create new technologies.

Computer Science 8

Students in this course will explore how computers learn from data to make decisions and create their own machine learning programs to recognize shapes, audio, and positions of objects. Students will also discuss the ethical implications of artificial intelligence and how this impacts society. Students will end the course identifying a problem that could be solved with AI, and will develop a prototype of their solution.
