What is Computer Science? Computer Science is NOT studying computers. Computer Science is problem solving using computers. The class starts by learning Java. We then use Java to solve some interesting problems. In May we will be taking the AP Test. If we pass, we will get credit for college.

The major goals of this class are:
Provide exposure to Computer Science
Prepare for the AP Test

Keys to be successful:
Use your problem solving skills
Don't be scared to think
Don't be scared to experiment
Don't be scared to be confused sometimes
