	One semester. May be taught as a six-, nine-, or 12-week portion of an 18-week wheel course; may be repeated for credit

Course Description:
	Students in this course are introduced to basic computer science principles and begin to develop computational thinking skills. By applying logic to real-world applications, students will explore the world of coding by creating digital products. For example, students will learn how to use computers to mix music like a DJ and create their own music videos. Through teamwork and collaboration, students will problem solve and learn how computers are used in everyday life.
