Get familiar with the concepts and tools of computer science as you learn a subset of the Java programming language. You'll do hands-on work to design, write, and test computer programs that solve problems or accomplish tasks.

Skills You’ll Learn:

• Designing a program, developing the algorithms it needs, and writing code to implement them
• Testing program code and correcting errors
• Documenting and explaining how program coding works

Equivalency and Prerequisites:

Learn the principles that underlie the science of computing and develop the thinking skills that computer scientists use. You’ll work on your own and as part of a team to creatively address real-world issues using the tools and processes of computation.

Skills You’ll Learn:

• Making connections between concepts in computing
• Designing a program to solve a problem or complete a task
• Applying abstractions in computation and modeling
• Analyzing computational work
• Communicating ideas about technology and computation
• Working collaboratively to solve problems
