Computer Programming
The Computer Programming class teaches FHS students coding from the basics of the Python scripting language to creating their own games. Students are introduced to variables, lists, tuples, and in-built functions. They then use those skills to mimic an existing game, before venturing into the world of developers from every major tech company in the world. Not only can coding be fun, but it’s a very useful skill! Technology is a big part of this world and will continue to be, so this program is a great opportunity for students to learn to navigate it.
