This seminar provides an overview of computer science concepts and teaches basic programming skills. Learn about algorithms, variables and expressions, input and output, if-else statements, for and while loops, functions and parameters, and simple data structures. The history of computer science, artificial intelligence, software engineering, computer networking, and computer-human interaction are covered. You will work in groups to code in two programming languages, Scratch and Java, and will choose one language to use for a final project.
