An Overview of ISP formerly called CSE

This course is designed to introduce students to computer science through project-based learning centered on the essential computer science topics and skills needed to continue in the field of computer science and Information Technologies. To accomplish this students will solve problems and create value for others through innovation and creativity. Explore how innovations in computing impact and connect our world. Students will collaborate to create mobile apps using MIT App Inventor. Develop the code for a VEX autonomous vehicle to complete a driving course. Whether these are your first steps in computer science, or a continuation of your journey, Computer Science Essentials will give you confidence to succeed today and beyond. It is classified as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) class and utilizes a problem-solving approach to apply computer science skills in real-world scenarios. It is also the first foundational course in a larger computer science program being developed on the Segerstrom campus. Successful completion of this class will not only yield valuable academic and real-world skills, it will also allow access to the Computer Science Principles course the following year.
