Computer Science classes focus on digital literacy and introduces students to the basics of Google Suite and other applications such as Canva, WeVideo and more. An emphasis will be placed on digital literacy with these applications, digital citizenship, and digital footprints. Students will engage in project-based learning opportunities through multiple computer applications and develop real-world digital skills.
Grade 7
This computer science course will engage students in a trimester-long course focused on multiple fields such as robotics and coding. Units include hardware, software & coding, cyber security, and robotics. Students will have the opportunity to experience hands-on robotics with different robot models. Students will code their own programs. They will create flow charts and practice annotating code. Students will learn the differences between the coding languages focusing on JavaScript, HTML/CSS and Python and their applications in the real world.
Grade 8
In 8th grade, students can choose to take a creative technology and media class or a Technology Education class that focuses on computer drafting and using power tools to create woodworking projects.
Creative Technology and Media -This twelve week course is designed to provide students with an opportunity to explore a variety of forms of technology and media. Students work in small groups and delve into units on photography, sound recording, and editing, video production, and animation. As a class, students will focus on the competencies of creativity and innovation , communication and collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, and technology operations. These skills will be applied through skill-building activities, projects, presentations and sharing sessions.
Technology Education - The two areas studied at this grade level are woodworking and computer drafting. The program emphasizes development of specific skills, importance of safety awareness, following directions and the ability to proceed independently as students progress through the manufacturing stages of design, production, assembly, and finishing.
