FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which languages do students learn?

Four, at an introductory level: JavaScript through Karel the Dog, Python through Tracy the Turtle, and HTML and CSS for the portfolio website. The point is breadth rather than depth in one language.

Do students need any programming experience first?

No. It is described as a beginner computer science course introducing the basics of programming, and each language starts from the beginning.

What do students produce?

A personal portfolio website in HTML and CSS showcasing the projects they build across the course.

Why is the middle school version longer than the high school one?

It covers more ground at a slower pace. This course runs 80 hours and teaches four languages; Creative Computing (HS) runs 65 hours and concentrates on HTML, CSS and JavaScript, adding a JavaScript graphics unit and a networks and security unit that this one does not have.

Which grades is this course for?

CodeHS lists it in the Middle School Pathway for grades 6 through 8.

How long is the course?

About 80 contact hours, built to run as a semester course.
