ASTEC MIDDLE SCHOOL

​​​​8th-grade Computer Science scholars learn how to conduct themselves as digital citizens by learning and practicing online safety and etiquette. Scholars work through a series of projects using CS Discoveries on code.org that teach problem-solving strategies while learning to write computer programs. Scholars apply technological knowledge and process to real-world experiences, work individually and in teams to solve problems, design, develop, and utilize technological systems, and complete open-ended, problem-based design activities. This year, scholars will be introduced to the Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
