Many agree that cybersecurity is “the next big thing” in K-12 computer science education. As technology expands and the number of connected devices grows, so does the need for security and network experts. With over 300,000 job openings in the field 1, students can expect to learn real-world applications of network and security concepts that will open up a world of opportunities. (CodeHS)

Mobile applications are becoming increasingly important to our consumption of media, news, social interaction, and learning. In this course, students will learn how to create mobile apps using React Native, a popular platform-agnostic framework developed by Facebook and used by successful tech companies including Airbnb, Facebook, Instagram, Tesla, and more. Students will design and build applications to run on their own smartphones and will use the latest tools and technologies available for mobile app development. (CodeHS)

The Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course teaches students important programming concepts that enable the use of Artificial Intelligence in computer science and society at large. Students will learn how to incorporate basic Artificial Intelligence algorithms in their own work and consider the social and ethical implications of how Artificial Intelligence is used, and how it plans to be used. Students will develop a series of projects that illustrate the variety of ways Artificial Intelligence can be used to optimize and predict information and processes. (CodeHS)

AP Computer Science Principles introduces students to the breadth of the field of computer science. In this course, students will learn to design and evaluate solutions and to apply computer science to solve problems through the development of algorithms and programs. They will incorporate abstraction into programs and use data to discover new knowledge. Students will also explain how computing innovations and computing systems, including the Internet, work, explore their potential impacts, and contribute to a computing culture that is collaborative and ethical. It is important to note that the AP Computer Science Principles course does not have a designated programming language. Teachers have the flexibility to choose a programming language(s) that is most appropriate for their students to use in the classroom. (College Board, 2023)

AP Computer Science A introduces students to computer science through programming. Fundamental topics in this course include the design of solutions to problems, the use of data structures to organize large sets of data, the development and implementation of algorithms to process data and discover new information, the analysis of potential solutions, and the ethical and social implications of computing systems. The course emphasizes object-oriented programming and design using the Java programming language. (College Board, 2020)

Buildings Across Time brilliantly explores the essential attributes of architecture by uniquely combining both a detailed survey of Western architecture, including Pre-Columbian America, and an introduction to architecture from the Middle East, India, Russia, China, and Japan. Authors have searched out the stories these buildings have to tell, considered the intentions of the people who built them, and examined the lives of those who used them.

In this course, students explore the captivating world of mythology. They discover the rich tapestry of stories, gods, and heroes from cultures around the globe. This course offers an exciting journey through the narratives that have shaped human imagination and culture for centuries, providing insight into the roots of our beliefs and traditions.
