In It’s All in the Details, students will spend time predicting, running, and investigating code to enhance their understanding of output and print() functions. Students will then explore the effects of bugs in a Python program and discuss common Python errors to avoid. Students will debug a prewritten program through the modification process. After being exposed to basic debugging, students will independently develop two programs to demonstrate their understanding of bugs in Python. The lesson plan PDF includes links to the appropriate materials and resources, a detailed procedure, activity tips, and a bonus challenge activity.

Engage with game development processes through line coding. Learn game theory, game psychology, and constructs like nodes and trees. Discuss ethical behavior and STEM careers in the gaming industry.
Many schools only offer one computer science high school class: AP Computer Science. While this is a great course for students who want an extra challenge or to explore the possibility of studying computer science in college, it can be intimidating to other students who may not have had the opportunity to practice computer science skills up until this point.
We are great advocates of offering a complete K-12 computer science experience, and that includes high school. Computer science teacher high school have the opportunity to empower their students with courses that expand their skills and develop their interests beyond just Java, the focus of the AP Computer Science class. Ellipsis Education high school courses use JavaScript, Java, Python, and Godot to develop websites, programs, and games. Whether students are building websites, manipulating data, or developing games, high schoolers build computer science skills that will prepare them for AP or other advanced-level courses. That way, they have years of experience and foundational knowledge that gives them confidence entering the AP exam or college courses.
