computer programming

This unit introduces students to the concepts involved in using a computer programming language. Students will be shown how to methodically develop their problem solving strategies by breaking information problems into manageable parts that can be solved through the writing of a list of logically developed instructions.

The Python programming language will be used to enable students to create computer animations, chatbots, simple computer games and other projects intended to produce information solutions.
