An interactive introductory course that teaches the foundations of computer science using the Python language. Not only will this year-long course prepare students for advanced computer science courses, but it will teach students how to think computationally and solve complex problems, skills that are important for every student.Students will develop an appreciation for how computers store and manipulate information by building simple console-based games. This course is equivalent to a semester-long introductory Python course at the college level. This course is very detail oriented and uses a blended teaching approach.
