Welcome!

Course Description:

Welcome to ECS! This will be my 9th year teaching at Central Davis Jr. High and I’m very excited for the school year! In this class we will learn concepts associated with interface design, limits of computers, and how they are used today.

The goal of ECS is to develop problem solving and programming ability with problems or experiences relevant to the lives of students today. Skills and knowledge that you can use in your every day life.

Objectives:

1. Students are introduced to the concepts of computers and computing while investigating the major components of computers and the suitability of these components for particular applications.

2. Students discuss how computing enables innovation in a variety of fields and the impacts that those innovations have on society.

3. Problem Solving: Students will be given opportunities to become “computational thinkers” by applying a variety of problem-solving techniques.
