Welcome to Computer Science Class!
Computer Science Course of Study - 8th Grade
"We believe that computing is so fundamental to understanding and participating in society that it is valuable for every student to learn as part of a modern education. We see computer science as a liberal art, a subject that provides students with a critical lens for interpreting the world around them. Computer science prepares all students to be active and informed contributors to our increasingly technological society whether they pursue careers in technology or not. Computer science can be life-changing, not just skill training." -Code.Org https://code.org/educate/curriculum/values
