Digital Citizenship in Middle School

Students are introduced to various topics in CS, including: text-based coding languages, web design, digital citizenship, networks, and game design. In the final year of this pathway, students take an introductory coding course in Python that will prepare them for high school CS courses.

Students learn how to code in a text-based environment and are introduced to the basics of coding in Python across three courses.
