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 of March 7: Image Representation


Week 1:  
Human-Computer Interaction and Algorithms

Week 2:
Learn about binary numbers and converting regular base 10 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 and graph theory.

*** Current Week*** Week 4: Learn how computers detect and correct errors in data.

Week 5: This week covers network sorting and how a computer multitasks

Week 6: Finite State Automata is this week's topic and is based on following simple maps and reasoning

Week 7: Learn how to organize and find data using a binary search tree and practice using conditional statements!

Week 8: Explore how colorful images can be represented using binary digits.
