Course Description

CS 107 EXPLORATION & RESEARCH IN GAMING/CODING   3.0 Credit(s)
Whether planning a career in these fields or not, every college student and 21stcentury professional needs computer science skills. Although future computer scientists are welcome, this course is specially designed for those who are interested in computer science but do not necessarily envision becoming a professional coder, gamer, or software engineer. The inherent idea in the course is that computer science is accessible to all students, not only those who have been coding since the age of five. Incorporating the proven, straightforward, and "pure fun" curricula developed by the nonprofit Code.org (https://code.org/about), participants will use a plethora of tools and programming languages to express coding approaches. The course emphasizes the use of computer science to structure complex problem-solving and does not aim to teach the details of a certain programming language.
