Computer Science 5

In this course, students will incorporate previous knowledge of technology to study cybersecurity and will learn to use technology safely to protect personal information. Reviews of intellectual property, public domain, and creative commons media will give students the opportunity to include existing programs into their own work to develop something new or more advanced. This will culminate in students examining and creating sequences that use simple block-based programming in Minecraft Education edition. Students will use Minecraft Education to build sequences that demonstrate events, loops, conditionals, and variables that are used to store data. Lastly, students will be testing and debugging these sequences to practice their skills of identifying cause-and-effect relationships and creative problem solving.
