Course Description
From recent innovations in AI like self-driving cars to humanoid robotics navigating complex
environments, leapfrogs in battery technology to sequencing the human genome - the world is
benefiting and evolving thanks to computer systems. At the core of all these systems are
computers executing instructions to solve exciting problems.
In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of how we instruct computers to solve problems.
You will explore the architecture and mechanics of how computers operate and how you can
translate real-world problems to computer programs that solve these problems.
The concepts you learn will provide a foundation for your future endeavours in computing and,
we hope, will begin to change the way you think about real-world problems.
This course is an introductory course to the basics of Computer Programming and Computer
Science. It is intended as an introduction to studying further in Computer Science or related
fields. Topics include:
Fundamental programming concepts
Introduction to Computer Science A++
