Algorithms and Programming
Students learn to code and write algorithms thoughtfully using best practices. They learn to get feedback and write software collaboratively.
JS 101-401 Middle School

CSTA 1B-AP-09 Create programs that use variables to store and modify data.
CSTA 1B-AP-10 Create programs that include sequences, events, loops, and conditionals.
CSTA 1B-AP-11 Decompose (break down) problems into smaller, manageable subproblems to facilitate the program development process.
CSTA 1B-AP-12 Modify, remix, or incorporate portions of an existing program into one’s own work, to develop something new or add more advanced features.
CSTA 1B-AP-13 Use an iterative process to plan the development of a program by including others’ perspectives and considering user preferences.
