Explore essential concepts of digital citizenship, including online safety, digital community, information literacy, and responsible use of technology. Through interactive lessons, discussions, and hands-on projects, students will develop the skills necessary to navigate the digital world responsibly and ethically.

Build understanding around the impacts of Computer Science, how to work with data, and how to code in Python in an interactive block-based world.

Take a deeper dive into fundamental programming concepts using Platypus, a button-based programming tool inspired by Python. Over 50 hours, students will develop computational thinking skills such as decomposition, debugging, and iterative design while exploring key topics like loops, conditionals, functions, and variables. They will also gain an understanding of how computers represent data, including binary and hex color codes. Through engaging miniprojects, students will solve real-world problems, design custom worlds, and create interactive programs, fostering creativity and problem-solving. This course provides a solid foundation in coding for students with no prior experience, preparing them for future computer science learning.
