Description
** This is a YEAR long Computer Science class – 2 semesters. Both semesters must be completed to receive credit for the class **
This year-long course is designed to provide high school students with a comprehensive understanding of computer science concepts and skills. Students will explore various aspects of computer science, including programming, computational thinking, algorithms, and the impact of technology on society. Through hands-on projects, problem-solving activities, and collaborative learning experiences, students will develop critical thinking skills and gain practical experience in computer science.
This class meets TN requirements for a Computer Science course

Computer Science Beyond the Classroom
Our goal is for students to use what they learn in everyday life—not just complete assignments.
One student shared these photos after setting up his family’s surround sound system:
“Computer Science is helping me out BIG time figuring out what’s best and what this and that mean… The class itself is helping me out a bunch. I have learned so much more and can create awesome audio with it.”

What a fun and interesting class. I enjoyed learning about AI and using Scratch!

This is a great course. I have learned so much about Computer Science this year and have really enjoyed it. Even if you don’t think you are going to go into a computer related field it is still super cool to learn all of this stuff. You are constantly moving through a variety of topics so if you struggle with a particular concept you will only have to do a few weeks and then move on to something else. I totally recommend!

This Class Was Extremely helpful, It goes in depth on many parts of Computer Science. I now know more about Ai and Coding despite the relatively light work load. Overall this class is very well done!
