Beginner Level
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. This is a relaxed, fun class. I will introduce the topics, ask questions, provide 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. *** NOTE: Students will need to be able to annotate for some classes. ⇢ Week of July 8: Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) ⇢ Week of July 15: Binary Numbers ⇢ Week of July 22: Image Representation/Pixels ⇢ Week of July 29: Information Theory (the origins of predictive text) ⇢ Week of August 5: Graph Theory and how it maps out network systems ⇢ Week of August 12: Boolean Logic ⇢ Week of August 19/22: Computational Thinking with Puzzles ⇢ Week of August 26/29: Dominating Sets (Brute force algorithms) ⇢ Week of September 2/5: NO CLASS - LABOR DAY ⇢ Week of September 9/12: Steiner Trees (finding the shortest path through networks) ⇢ Week of September 16/19: Cryptography and Code Breaking ⇢ Week of September 23/26: Modems Classes will repeat after the 10th week.

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.
