This class - FCS - (Fundamentals of Computer Science) - is an introduction to coding and computer science by way of making and design. We will be using a number of tools including ; the micro:bit microcontroller board, block-based coding environments, and the google office and tools.  It is a project-based curriculum with a maker philosophy at its core; the idea is that by making physical objects, and project students create a context for learning the coding and computer science concepts. One of the goals of this class is to prepare our students to take APCSP ( (Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles) when they get to high school.
