Java Fundamentals

For Ages 12 - 17

course_description

Java is a object oriented programming language that is widely used for cross platform applications. This course introduces programming in Native Java using an IDE. Java Fundamentals introduces students to Java in a 16 week course that is designed for students with no or limited experience in coding. Each week a core coding concept is introduced and explained through a series of exercises. Short assignments and exercises outside of class build proficiency. For the last two weeks, students work on a capstone project that pulls together all of the concepts and coding techniques that they now have in their toolbox.

Course worksheets are available that introduce the concepts and how they are applied. These worksheets have been developed for those new to coding. They provide clear explanations of important concepts using non-technical language. We think you will appreciate the approach.

We would note that this course requires a level of math equivalent to Algebra 2.
