Welcome to the world of coding! In this course, we will start with the very foundational concepts of the binary number system and work our way up the layers of abstraction until we are programming our own apps using Javascript. Along the way, we will grapple with the technical and societal challenges facing us today and in the future. This course will prepare you for the AP Computer Science Principles test. It is recommended that you take Algebra 1 before this course. No coding experience is required.
