Ages: Grades 9 - 12  
Course description:

CS50 or AP Computer Science teaches students how to think algorithmically and solve problems efficiently. Problem sets inspired by real-world domains of biology, cryptography, finance, forensics, and gaming.  The course emphasis is on procedural abstraction, data abstraction,  algorithms, data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, software engineering, and web development. Languages include C, PHP, and JavaScript plus SQL, CSS, and HTML.

Major topical areas include:

• the concepts of computer science

• program control constructs

• use of arrays and strings

• class methods

• object-oriented design and programming concepts

• creating and modifying classes

• understanding existing designs and code

• the use of sorting and searching algorithms

• recursion

• use of standard Java class libraries

This also includes a digital citizen certification.
•    Students will learn the importance of digital safety and how to protect their personal devices and information from outside threats.
•    Encourages students to apply digital ethic principles in their online interactions.
•    Helps students understand the widespread importance of digital security in their everyday lives and equip them with skills to better protect themselves on the Internet.

But the real value of the course is Problem sets inspired by real-world domains of biology, pharmaceutical, entertainment, finance, forensics, and gaming.
