In this introductory block-based programming course, students explore fundamental computer science skills and programming structures using Scratch, a block coding language. Students implement variables, conditionals, and loops in Unplugged and Coding lessons to build Scratch projects. Digital Citizenship and STEM Career lessons provide opportunities for students to evaluate online activities, assess the impacts of computing on society, and consider a variety of STEM careers. By the end of this course, students will be equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to confidently pursue advanced computer science courses.
