Students are introduced to the course and develop goals for themselves for the course as well as investigate what type of learner they are.
Students learn topics on Internet etiquette, how to stay safe on the web, potential effects of digital footprints, how to protect their information, and the implications of cyberbullying.
Students learn Python commands, functions, and control structures by drawing shapes on their screen and solve puzzles with Turtle Graphics!
Students go through a high-level introduction to HTML, CSS, and the processes involved in viewing web pages on the internet. Students create several simple web pages to gain practice using the various features of HTML and CSS.
Students explore the structure and design of the internet and networks, how this design affects the reliability of network communication, the security of data, and personal privacy.
Students are introduced to the theory and practice of user interface design. Students learn about what makes an engaging and accessible user interface, and employ an iterative design process including rapid prototyping and user testing to design and develop their own final project.

It covers 100% of the Nevada Computer Science and Applications standards. It also covers 94% of Nevada Tech 9-12 and 93% of Nevada Tech 6-8, so it does most of the work for those frameworks too.
Python and HTML, plus physical computing on the micro:bit. Students start with Turtle Graphics in Python, learn HTML and CSS for the web design units, and then program micro:bit devices.
The course includes three micro:bit units, so schools running those units will need the devices or they can use the online simulator provided by micro:bit.
Computer science and computational thinking through Python and HTML, plus algorithms, documentation, security and privacy, communication and collaboration, and data visualisation. A Building Mathematical Models unit connects the programming to maths.
It is the 9th and 10th grade course in the Nevada High School Computer Science pathway.
About 80 contact hours, built to run as a semester course. It is the only Nevada high school course that is not a full year.
