Go beyond the screen for an in-depth look at computing! Computer science encompasses much more than programming. In this class, students will get a taste of these topics such as human-computer interactions, algorithms, binary numbers, information theory, and graph theory. We will explore these topics through discussion, puzzles, in-class demonstrations, and online activities. Please note: This is not a coding class, nor do students need any coding experience for this class. Week 1: Learn about the Stroop effect and how bad computer interfaces can slow you down. Learn what an algorithm is and some of the different types there are. Week 2: Learn about binary numbers and converting regular base ten numbers to binary. Then apply that knowledge to a digital representation. Week 3: This week, we will cover some of the more abstract concepts of computer science with information theory.
Learning Goals
After completing this course, students will understand that
- People use computer programs to process information to gain insight and knowledge.
- Computing enhances communication, interaction, and cognition.
- Computing enables innovation in nearly every field.
- Digital data is represented by abstraction.
- Computers use an iterative and interactive way to process digital information.
- Combining data sources, clustering data, and data classification is part of the process of using computers to process information.
- Patterns can emerge when data is transformed using computational tools.Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master’s Degree in Education from Strayer University
I am a home school mom of 3. I've been homeschooling since 2007, when my oldest started kindergarten. I've taught many classes to homeschooled kids through different co-ops and online.
I teach various classes in history, social studies, math, programming, and zen doodling. I have been Zentangling and drawing mandalas for about 10 years.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a Master’s Degree in Education with a focus on Instructional Technologies. I was a software engineer before making the move to stay home and homeschool my kids.Reviews
