Intro to Computer Science

The complete full-year course, all 8 units

This computer literacy course takes high school students through a full year of computer science, one clear step at a time. Students troubleshoot computers, compare operating systems, plan networks, evaluate online sources and pitch new technology. Later in the year, they build and style websites, then design and program their own devices.

Why Teachers Choose It

Every unit ends with a project

Students use each unit's skills to solve a client's problem, like building a computer for a customer or planning a network.

Students learn how technology works before they build it

They study computers, networks and the Internet first, so they understand the websites and devices they make later in the year.

Real online activities

Students can use Tech Shop, Connect and Check, Web Lab, Robot Maze and MakeCode on a computer or tablet, and every online version has a paper version that works with no internet.

Every day fits a 45-minute class

Each day's plan is timed activity by activity against real reading and writing speeds.

FAQ

Is this the whole Computer Science Fundamentals course?
Yes: all 8 units and 50 lessons, every unit's review and test, and the Course-Wide Bonus folder, with a pacing calendar for the full school year.
Is this AP Computer Science?
No. It is a full-year, non-AP intro course for grades 9 to 12. For AP, see AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A.
Can I buy one unit or one lesson instead?
Yes. Each unit sells as its own bundle and each lesson sells on its own. The full course costs less than the eight units together, and it is the only way to get the Course-Wide Bonus folder.
Do students need computers or micro:bits?
No. Every online version comes with a paper version, so no internet is needed. Unit 8 uses Robot Maze, a free browser game, and MakeCode, a free website with a micro:bit simulator, so you need no micro:bits or robots.
Which standards does it cover?
Written for Florida's Advanced Information Technology course (9007610). The Standards Map and each unit's standards crosswalk show where every standard is taught.
How is it delivered?
Instant download right after checkout: PowerPoint and Word files you can edit, print-ready PDFs, and links that copy the Google Forms™ and Google Slides™ into your Drive.
