Creative Problem Solving and Programming Concepts

In this course students will develop, or improve upon, their problem-solving skills to analyze problems and create solutions. Students will document their solutions and translate them into running programs written in the enormously popular Python programming language. Students will learn programming concepts including the use of variables, program input and output, flow control, conditionals, interpreter- and code-file-based approaches, and error testing. Students will learn how to set up Integrated Development Environments (IDE) such as Visual Studio Code on their personal computers and/or utilize a Cloud IDE in which they will write programs.
