Karel helps teach foundational skills in programming by simplifying JavaScript to four simple commands. Using these commands, students solve increasingly difficult problems and explore how complex programming languages can be developed from simple commands.
Students take all the foundational concepts from Karel to solve programming challenges.
Students learn the basics of JavaScript, including variables, user input, mathematics, and basic graphics.
Students learn how to pair program while tackling more challenging tasks with JavaScript graphics.
Students learn how to use control structures such as if/else statements and loops to make more advanced programs in JavaScript.
Students take all the foundational concepts from the Control Structures unit to solve some programming challenges.
Students learn to write reusable code with functions and parameters.
In this module, students learn how to make objects move around the screen and let users interact using the mouse!
In this module, students learn about arrays and how to iterate through them.
In this module, students will learn and use the software development life cycle to create a simple app that will solve an everyday problem.
In this module, students will explore a problem that can be answered by analyzing a dataset. They will form statistical questions and use visualization techniques to analyze the data to answer the question.
In this module, students explore potential career paths in the field of computer science.

Students program in JavaScript. The course covers the foundations of computer science and basic programming with an emphasis on logical thinking and problem solving, and finishing it leaves students able to write JavaScript programs on their own.
No. Oklahoma Computer Science II does not build on Computer Science I. The two courses cover different ground: Computer Science I is a cybersecurity and IT course, while this one is a programming course. Either can be a student's first computer science class.
The course runs about 110 contact hours across a school year. By the end, students have covered material equivalent to a one semester introductory college computer science course, which is the benchmark the course is built against.
