Introduction to Computer Science with Python 3-YVR-2021-07
This course is designed to help students begin their computer science journey through the use of a real-world programming language – Python 3. Python is in the top 3 most loved languages by software developers and is the number one language developers want to learn, according to Stack Overflow. Students will build upon their problem-solving skills and understand computational thinking through the context of programming. They will discover how vital syntax is in a text-based languages, as well as how programs flow.
Coding Your Own Video Game With Roblox-YVR-2021-06
This course is designed to help students recognize the thought processes when they are formulating and solving problems to be carried out by a computer or device. These processes will help students become better at analyzing problems when they are coding.

Introduction to Computational Thinking
Ages and Qualifications: 13 to 17 with no prior experience
This course is designed to help students recognize the thought processes when they are formulating and solving problems to be carried out by a computer or device. These processes will help students become better at analyzing problems when they are coding.
Computational thinking is the thought processes involved in formulating problems and their solutions so that the solutions are represented in a form that can be effectively carried out by an information-processing agent. Four of these thoughts processes will be addressed during this workshop: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms. This workshop will focus on tackling problems using these thoughts processes and carrying-out solutions using a block-based coding language: Scratch 3. Participants will think analytically, design, and code in real time and will have an opportunity to share their knowledge with others. No prior programming experience is required to attend this online class.
At the end of the workshop, students will be able to:
- Understand why computational thinking is pertinent when programming but also in their daily lives.
- Decompose problems in smaller sub-problems.
- Recognize patterns in problems facilitating decomposition, save time and make their code more efficient.
- Use abstraction to remove unnecessary details while solving a problem.
- Use algorithms to create a series of steps to produce pseudocode and code.
- Identify and use various coding mechanisms to make their code more efficient, including loops, variables, functions and lists.
