In Introduction to Coding, students will develop standard coding techniques and learn the tools and methods typically used by programmers to create simple computer applications. Students will demonstrate proficiency by converting detailed information into coded instructions in a computer language; and will be able to troubleshoot/debug programs to ensure their proper execution. Students will create game design and web page design projects.
