Technology II

Course Overview

This semester-long course is focused primarily on computer programming in Javascript. Students will explore how concepts such as loops, conditionals, and variables apply beyond Javascript, and they will engage in lessons on topics such as programming with accessibility in mind. Through assignments that constantly reinforce previously learned skills, students will learn all the basic principles of computer science and will be introduced to more complex concepts such as object-oriented programming. Throughout the semester, students will discuss current topics in computer programming and will engage in a research project on an advanced topic of their choosing. The course culminates in a final project that asks students to create a simple game on their own. Completing this project will require that students demonstrate mastery over each of the skills taught throughout the semester.
