PLTW: INTRODUCTION TO Computer Science
At EAMS, we are moving beyond computer literacy by teaching our students computer science, which teaches students design, logical reasoning and problem solving skills. All of these skills are valuable applications in other areas of life. Computer science can help make curriculum more relevant to students by allowing them to design innovative technology solutions to problems in math, science, social studies, the arts and literacy.
Over the course of 6th, 7th & 8th grades, my class will prepare you to jump right into the Computer Science classes that are available to you at Elkhorn Area High School.
MY CLASSROOM GOALS FOR YOU:
*Don't be afraid to try or accept more than 1 approach to solving a problem.
*Learn how to think with a partner or a group to solve something together.
*Adapt new technologies to solve a problem - be innovative and creative.
*Understand that there is so much more to computer science than sitting alone in a cubicle all day!
*Appreciation for Computer Science job prospects in many areas such as: the arts, film, finance, health care, manufacturing, journalism, music, security and so much more!
