    Computer Science with Robotics Pathway

    Fundamentals of Computer Science

    "Fundamentals of Computer Science is intended as a first course for those students just beginning the study of computer science. Students will learn about the computing tools that are used every day. Students will foster their creativity and innovation through opportunities to design, implement, and present solutions to real-world problems. Students will collaborate and use computer science concepts to access, analyze, and evaluate information needed to solve problems.

    Robotics Programming and Design

    "Robotics Programming and Design will foster students' creativity and innovation by presenting opportunities to design, implement, and present meaningful robotic programs through a variety of media. Students will collaborate with one another, their instructor, and various electronic communities to solve problems in designing and programming robots. Through data analysis, students will identify task requirements, plan search strategies, and use robotic concepts to access, analyze, and evaluate information needed to solve problems... Students will gain an understanding of the principles of robotics through the study of physics, robotics, automation, and engineering design concepts." 

     

    AP Computer Science A

    “AP Computer Science A is equivalent to a first-semester, college-level course in computer science. The course introduces students to computer science with fundamental topics that include problem solving, design strategies and methodologies, organization of data (data structures), approaches to processing data (algorithms), analysis of potential solutions, and the ethical and social implications of computing. The course emphasizes both object-oriented and imperative problem solving and design using Java language. These techniques represent proven approaches for developing solutions that can scale up from small, simple problems to large, complex problems. The AP Computer Science A course curriculum is compatible with many CS1 courses in colleges and universities.” – AP College Board

                   
         
     
     

    At Skyline High School students can earn a STEM Endorsement on Computer Science with the focus on Robotics as an option upon graduation.

    A student must:

    ·      Earn at least 26 credits to earn an endorsement.

     

    ·      Demonstrate proficiency in the following;

    o  Curriculum requirements for the Foundation High School Program (22 units)

    o  A fourth credit in Mathematics

    o  An additional (4th) credit in Science

     

    ·      Complete coherent sequence of four credits in computer science:

    o  Fundamentals of Computer Science

    o  AP Computer Science Principles

    o  Computer Science 1 Pre-AP

    o  AP Computer Science A or

    o  Robotics Programming and Design*

     

    *Student may choose between AP CS A or Robotics as their 4th course. If Robotics is chosen the endorsement will be STEM Endorsement: Computer Science with Robotics
