Computer Science (CSC1) 

What will I learn?

This course will develop your digital technology skills and knowledge by following a technological process to design, develop and document digital outcomes. You will learn how to design and build a digital media outcome (website), and apply computational thinking skills to write and debug computer programs with Python.

You will, during the course of the semester:

• Design user interfaces (UI / UX) with digital tools such as Figma.

• Apply appropriate tools and techniques to create a digital media outcome (e.g. website).

• Write computer programs with Python that utilise variables, perform mathematical and comparison operations, implement selection and iterative structures, and work with collections like lists and arrays.

• Develop well-structured, flexible, and robust code by efficiently using control structures, writing clear comments, employing descriptive variable names, and using variables or constants.

• Test programs for functionality with various input types, including boundary and invalid cases, and debug errors by interpreting error messages and correcting issues.

• Anticipate and find solutions to problems
