This is the page for our full-year course. If you are looking for a condensed option for summer camps or short instruction blocks, explore our Computer Science Applications Java Pilot.
Deepen existing computer science skills and interest in programming. Learn fundamental computer science concepts using Java, an advanced line coding language. Explore loops, objects, methods, and classes. Develop computational thinking skills by building fitness trackers, basic calculators, and music applications, among others. Unplugged and Digital Citizenship lessons explore incorporating feedback, physical security measures, and a variety of STEM careers. At the end of this course, students will have practiced the computational thinking and analytical skills needed to prepare for AP Computer Science at the high school level.
Each lesson plan is designed to enable students to achieve specific learning outcomes related to course aligned computer science competencies. For example, at the end of this course students will be able to:
— Amy Giba, STEM Teacher
— Collin Yust, 3rd Grade Teacher
Not every student loves to code, and that’s ok. That’s why the Core Pillars of Ellipsis Education are at the center of every course. Each pillar includes activities built to engage every learning style in the classroom.
