Computational thinking – the logic of algorithms – is the heart of computer science and an essential skill for the 21st century. We will look at ways to expose non-coders to the beauty of algorithms and computer science and to broaden the perspective of students who already know how to code.
Walk away with lessons that teach students about the algorithms that shape modern life and get hands on experience with a visual programming system that allows students to focus on learning logic instead of syntax. This curriculum is directly applicable to teaching dual-credit CS160 through Willamette Promise or the new APCS-Principles course. No programming experience needed.
Graduate Credit in Process for West Salem, Eugene.
