Unit 4: Algorithmic Programming

Trimester 2 begins with student teaching and a focus on algorithms. Each week a “Student Team” has a teaching assignment supported by College Board materials. Additionally, the Teacher is providing Career Tech mini-labs that correspond to one or more topics for the week. Use the two things together as you improve your learning experience, Frontend blog and Jupyter Notebooks.

Unit 2: Introduction to Web Development

Websites are made up of several key parts: Frontend, Backend, Data and Deployment. The focus for these weeks is to enable students to perform the aspects of constructing and deploying a simple Website. Fastpages got us started on these concepts, but now we will start building a Website from the ground up. Once again, there will be a lot of learning focused tools and getting things working. But, by the end of the Unit, students will be ready to start many of the technical coding aspects of Web Development, having established a Deployed Website. On Nov 3rd our Trimester work will end with a project and student participation in Electives Department “Night at the Museum” (N@tM).
