Computer Science & Multimedia
In Computer Science and Multimedia, students will gain an understanding of programming and computer science. We work with Python, JavaScript, Java, Node Scripting, and C# programming languages. We emphasize creative thinking, abstraction, programming agnostic, syntax, design patterns, computer game development, debugging, and computational thinking. Because of these mathematical algorithms, completion of Algebra I is necessary. Students can earn college credit by taking the AP Computer Science Principles course.
First-year students will program in Javascript, Python, and “Node scripting” as part of your Tech I experience. The second year will focus on Java. This College Board curriculum imposes stringent and demanding expectations for reading, writing, and comprehension proficiency. Second-year students will work in the Unity Game Development environment to learn the C# language and the professional development cycle. It is also possible to cover advanced Unity game development and virtual reality. Come ready to experiment and implement ideas in a collaborative environment. Students will learn to use technology to solve problems and, most importantly, have fun doing it.
Students could qualify for two certifications in Cisco Python and Unity Jr Programmer after successfully completing the two-year program.
With instructor approval, students can take the Tech II level of the program without Tech I experience
End Outcomes: AP College Credit (3), Certifications (2)
